Heaven really exists, and it really exists in some sense is physical, because there are real, physical, glorified, human bodies there right now.

(It doesn't follow that it physically exists in our universe, such that you could build a spaceship and fly there, however.)

Seems a number of your fellow compadres' don't actually agree with the even partial physical existance of heaven

I can't imagine why you would think heaven is not physical...The bible clearly says that our dead bodies will be physically resurrected (and changed)

Kosta50 is not Catholic but Eastern Orthodox, therefore he's not exactly my compadre ... yet. :-)

Exactly. All orthodox Christians believe this has already happened with Jesus, and even if someone wants to quibble that Jesus is a Divine Person and is therefore a special case, Catholics and Orthodox believe that Mary is also physically in heaven body and soul. (And there's an argument that can be made for Enoch, Elijah, and Moses being there also.)
