Is there a bone of saint buried under the altar of a Catholic Church?
It is possible that some Catholic churches may have relics of saints buried under their altars, including bones. Relics are considered sacred objects, often part of a saint's body or belongings, and are venerated in the Catholic tradition. However, the presence of relics varies from church to church and is not a universal practice.
Who began the first universal church?
Unless you are asking about a particular church with that name, the first "universal" church would have to be the Catholic church which was started by Jesus and the Holy Spirit in 33 A.D. with the commission to go out and "convert all nations". Which is exactly what the church has done. I don't know the exact statistics, but I believe the Catholic church is found in nearly every nation on earth, all tracing their origin back through the Pope and the Bishops to the original twelve disciples and Jesus.Answer:"Universal" would imply a church that is subscribed to by everyone. No church has been subscribed to, believed in or even had its rites followed by every one. Even in paleolithic times some dipped the bones of their dead in ochre, others didn't.SO the answer would be no one yet.

What church is the weirdest?
Well, there are many denominations out there. The rituals to one may seem odd to another. It is a matter of opinion. However, one that always struck me as a bit odd is the Sedlec Ossuary, in the Czech Republic. It is a Roman Catholic church, but the decorations inside are made from human remains. There are chandeliers made from bones and skulls, and other decor. See the related link below for more.

What happened in the past when people criticized the Catholic Church?
That varied by country, by period and by the severity of the criticism. Criticism that took the form of heresy could in some countries like Spain and Portugal be punished severely, even by death by burning at the stake. In other countries the Church often found local rulers in its path because the Church courts could pronounce you guilty but the regular courts had to pass and effectuate the sentence; and local rulers often had bones of their own to pick with Church magistrates. Other rulers were less concerned with criticism of the Church than with criticism of themselves. Outside Spain an Portugal mass executions for heresy never became popular. In the Protestant countries you could of course criticize the Catholic church all you wanted. But even in Catholic countries criticism NOT amounting to heresy was something you could often get away with, certainly after the 16th century. If you put it in a book, the Church might put that book on its 'forbidden books list'. Other punishments - mostly only in 'severe' cases and often even in cases of heresy - might be the obligation to go on a pilgrimage, a fine, confiscation of goods or temporary imprisonment.
