That's indeed interesting. They had minor deities for pretty much everything. And what do we have today? A saint for fishing, for the weather etc., that are invoked for good luck. It would make sense.
But unfortunately, for the Catholic Saints, doesnt their power ultimately stem from a belief in God? They're still viewed as mortals, agents of God. But the minor deities seem to be accorded more reverence and respect befitting a higher being.

So they just down played the worship aspect a bit. Still sounds plausible.
