Your comment:”You left out apparitions and things that go bump in the night.”
You like to object to Catholic beliefs. Perhaps you are truly inspired by Satan? So bump in the night must be Satan trying to confuse you.
The Catholic Church not not require belief in private revelations as they are not part of the Deposit of Faith, but that some are in accordance with the Catholic beliefs and worth understanding and may help us live our faith more fully.
We have been warned by the Blessed Mother:
Third Message June 23, 1962
“The Virgin has told us:
The world continues the same...That it has not changed at all. FEW WILL SEE GOD. They are so few that it causes The Virgin much Sorrow. What a pity that it does not change. The Virgin told us that the Chastisement is coming seeing that the world is not changing. The cup is filling up. How sad the Virgin was although She didn’t let us see it because She loves us so much and She suffers alone. She is so good! BE GOOD EVERYONE SO THAT THE VIRGIN WILL BE HAPPY. She told us that We who are good should pray for those who are bad. Let us pray to God for the world for those who do not know Him. Be good...be very good everyone”

TO THE EUCHARIST, THERE IS GIVEN LESS AND LESS IMPORTANCE. We should avoid the Wrath of God on us by our good efforts. If you ask pardon with your sincere soul God will pardon you. It is I, Your Mother, who through the intercession of St. Michael, wish to say that you amend, that you are already in the last warnings and that I love you much and do not want your condemnation.

You should sacrifice more. Think of the Passion of Jesus.

You like to tell about Catholic practices. Therefore you are truly inspired by nameless apparitions? So when one says "Pray my rosary for non-biblical benefits" it's really Jesus' mom trying to help you?
