Well I'm not Catholic, but was raised Catholic. I had many of the same questions that could not be answered until I actually went to the source: "The Bible". (NB: I enjoy reading about other religions and do enjoy finding the commonalities among faiths, but I do consider myself a Christian).

As for Voodoo/Santeria/Spirits, etc. many of these superstitious behaviours I would say yes they are cultural and even habitual, but I do believe that spirits exists. For even the Bible tells me so.
