One could get addicted to religious rituals instead. Such addiction is not entirely harmless, tends to damage relationships. I disagree the goal of normal society is "to lead people away from lasciviousness and impulsive behavior." That is not enough to live a good life. And when we tried it, it ended up with neverending war on drugs. Society should lead toward something. I think it should be toward a meaning. With the implicit understanding that there is no meaning in impulsive addictive behavior. Catholicism (and christianity generally) should not have a problem with that, as it is incredibly rich with meaning and it's so sad to see it all reduced to rigid morals, orders and prohibitions.
