Several errors after running catalog.sql

Question

I did a fresh installation of oracle apps EBS 11.5.10.2 on Linux OEL and was trying to do an import/export and it was not working as expected. So after i looked at Oracle's documentation it said catalog.sql has to be run before using the import/export. So i ran catalog.sql first but i did not run it with SYSDBA but ran it as SYSTEM and i saw several errors like access denied etcv. after i ran the catalog.sql i was not able to login via apps or any other user except SYSTEM and was giving me erros like ORA-04065:not executed,altered or dropped stored procedure "SYS.DBMS_SESSION"
After this to fix the issue i ran @?/rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql and @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp as SYSDBA but both executed a lot of grants etc but are haging at some point and not finishing.
The current state of the database is that im not able to login via any user except SYSTEM and i think i corrupted the db dictionary as everywhere i see they say running catalog.sql on an existing database is a bad idea. Can anyone help?

Hi Dheeraj,
My db version is 9.2.0.5.0 and OS is OEL 5.7.
The doc where it was mentioned to run catalog.sql before using import/export is below:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch01.htm
Please do not follow the steps in this link and instead follow the steps in (9i Export/Import Process for Oracle Applications Release 11i [ID 230627.1]).
Currently when im trying to login using apps or any other user below are errors i get.
ERROR:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level1
ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded
ORA-04065: not executed, altered or dropped stored procedure "SYS.DBMS_SESSION"
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
ORA-06512:at "SYS.OWA_VPD_CTX", line 5
ORA-06512:at "SYS.PORTAL_LOGIN", line 3
ORA-06512:at line 2
Can you pls help me to fix this.The status of the package is invalid and you need to validate it. Connect as sysdba and issue:
SQL> select owner, object_type, status
from dba_objects
where object_name = 'DBMS_SESSION';
SQL> alter package DBMS_SESSION compile body;
SQL> show error
SQL> alter package DBMS_SESSION compile;
SQL> show errorPlease also see:
