Praying through or to saints is an affront to God.
Saints know nothing that God doesn't know, saints cannot wheedle or cajole God into doing something A) He wasn't going to do anyhow B) contrary to His nature as God Almighty.
Saints, by their interposition between penitent and God are inherently coming before God regardless of what the penitent believes they do, and that is forbidden in the Decalogue.
God already has angels, saints are redundant and believing they exist is an affront to God as that implies He needs their help and/or would waste His Almightyness in their existence.
The process for ascertaining sainthood has changed over the centuries, so it is clear, some saints have squeezed through a flawed process and therefore aren't recognized as such by God, if He did in fact recognize any. Additionally, a flawed process would deny recognition of sainthood to some claimants, had God deemed to recognize saints, from individuals that are in fact saints.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
