Are Catholics superstitious?

Some people who see Catholics with statues, rosaries, certain prayers, scapulars, candles, might be tempted to think these things are just superstition. But superstition is an unfounded belief in a connection between some action or event and a certain outcome. In contrast, sacramentals help us become closer to Jesus. The catechism reminds us in paragraph 1667, "Holy Mother Church has, moreover, instituted sacramentals. These are sacred signs which bear a resemblance to the sacraments. They signify effects, particularly of a spiritual nature, which are obtained through the intercession of the Church. By them men are disposed to receive the chief effect of the sacraments, and various occasions in life are rendered holy.”
Sacramentals resemble the sacraments and point us towards them. They open us up to receiving grace from God and help us to orient our lives towards Jesus.

We believe the Catechism is not a textbook, a collection of ideas, or a set of rules. We believe it is the faithful echo of a God who desires to reveal himself to us. The mission of Real+True is to retransform the catechism into a living voice for the modern world. We’re creating videos, stories, animations, podcasts, to unpack and unlock the catechism of the catholic church for the modern world. All these videos are free, and translated into multiple languages for the world.
Real+True is a project of OSV under the patronage of the Holy See and supported by people who join our mission.

Sacramentals are powerful weapons against evil. They are so powerful, they’re used in exorcisms. They are used to Baptize, bless, heal, remit venial sin, cleanse, grant graces, indulgences and drive demons away. When you make The Sign of The Cross with Holy Water, you acknowledge and seal that you belong to God. Everyone should keep a bottle and use it daily. Bless yourself, loved ones, home, car, work space, etc.

All religion falls within the definition of superstition - it is supernatural belief that cannot be shown to be true.
