..."Why is 2000 years of Catholic belief - superstition..."....

Here's just one example:

It was a religious custom for 'medieval Christians in the catholic church' to regard relics as an important tool in attaining salvation just as much as they regarded holy doctrine.............they believed that if they wanted to be holy they needed holy 'things/ relics' to help them....Today catholics continue to have these medieval beliefs and associations with relics...oftentimes showing affectionate gestures toward them.

catholic priest bowing and praying in front of the remains of a corpse relic....This is an abomination in front of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The relic of the Heart of St. John Mary Vianney at St. Anthony's Catholic Church..note they are bowing before with hands folded in prayer form.

Here's the supposed foot of mary Magdalene on display as a relic

And here catholics are bowing before the arm of Francis Xavier, a priest from Spain.

and if kneeling before these relics isn't enough evidence that mid-evil practices are not only encouraged by the leadership but they are 'kissing' these body parts with their priests officiating.....

Pope Paul kissing the vile holding another priests blood

And another priest bowing before this relic of blood
