Second premise: Saints know needs, pray with greater charity, and are mediators of intercession not redemption

Roman premise two: heaven knows living needs and prays with greater charity than on earth.

They plead both for the Church militant and for individuals who seek their patronage.

Called intercessors and advocates—mediators of intercession, never of redemption.

Latin

XLV. Secundo supponunt Doctores Ecclesiae Romanae Sanctos in coelis non solum viventium necessitates nosse; sed majori, quam dum in terris agerent, charitate Deum pro illorum salute deprecari. Neque tantum illos in communi pro Ecclesia militante orare; sed etiam in particulari pro necessitatibus singulorum, qui ad illorum opem, & patrocinium confugiunt. Ac proinde Sanctos merito dici posse intercessores nostros, & Advocatos apud Deum & Mediatores, non quidem Redemptionis, quod soli Christo competit, sed intercessionis.
