There sure is a LOT of that, isn't there?
I think I have said it before, but I knew a pastor in Houston, Tx. He was an ex Catholic himself, and the author of several books. He said it this way. As far as the cults go, the less real spiritual "light" there is in a cult, the more "lights" it has to have, to remain somewhat attractive to the people. I would classify many of the false beliefs and sacraments, as false "lights" the Catholic Church must have, to show any semblance of attractiveness to their adherents. 👎

I’ve been told here that the had to have those things so that illiterate pagans would feel comfortable.
In the end though, it was pagans who reshaped the Roman Catholic Church.
