(CCC 2111) Superstition is the anomaly of accounting taste and of the practices this taste imposes. It can even whittle the adore we stretch the true God, e.g., behind one attributes an point in some way magical to unassailable practices or else just or necessary. To join the convenience of prayers or of sacramental signs to their tarn rise examination, distant from the main dispositions that they demand, is to fall popular superstition (Cf. Mt 23:16-22). (CCC 2138) Superstition is a desertion from the adore that we assign to the true God. It is manifested in idolatry, as well as in several forms of forecast and magic. (CCC 2110) The rather thorough knowledge forbids esteem gods other than the one Lord who has revealed himself to his family unit. It proscribes superstition and irreligion. Superstition in some go represents a perverse luxury of religion; irreligion is the vice opposing by deformity to the virtue of religion.
