You mock the saints with the words of a pop star? I am guessing you are not Catholic? What about the apostles, were they also fools for letting themselves get killed for dogma? Only John live to old age, every other of the men that Christ chose suffered torture and death for dogma. 

These were the men that new the Son of Man closest, they ate, spoke and lived with God incarnate, their faith that led them to death and sainthood, was the same deposited to their successors who also suffered for their love of God, for the dogma they received as gifts from God.
