Looking closely at the writings of the Catholic Church, one can see it persists in magical thinking, not faith.

You are obviously an expert on Catholicism. Could you please give me an example of this "magical thinking"?

Well the magical thinking of using Mary or any other human to control God is the current one we are discussing. Then of course you have all the superstitions associated with rosaries, medals, apparitions, omens and the like.
