This is actually a very bad practice, you are actually creating a black hole that will swallow many relevant problems and will be super hard to debug and maintain in the future. What you want to do is only catch error that you can handle, do not catch everything, you actually have to let most raise and have 2 things: 1) generic message for the users and 2) errors notification system that will send technical details to you and your team, have a look at https://github.com/airbrake/airbrake and get documentation about it. If you want more help, please be more specific about what you want to achieve.
