Gettin' it a little mixed up aren't you??? You guys claim heaven is a state of being...So where ever you are at, you are in heaven...
So if you ain't leaving earth for heaven, heaven is on earth, for you guys...
Me getting mixed up???? LOL It's a freaking song, moron!
If that's the best they can do, just add it to another reason to not be involved with the Catholic church.
I'll take the New Jerusalem, thankyouverymuch.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church is pretty weak on heaven, but here are some links.

Paragraph 5. HEAVEN AND EARTH
325 The Apostles' Creed professes that God is "creator of heaven and earth". the Nicene Creed makes it explicit that this profession includes "all that is, seen and unseen".
326 The Scriptural expression "heaven and earth" means all that exists, creation in its entirety. It also indicates the bond, deep within creation, that both unites heaven and earth and distinguishes the one from the other: "the earth" is the world of men, while "heaven" or "the heavens" can designate both the firmament and God's own "place" - "our Father in heaven" and consequently the "heaven" too which is eschatological glory. Finally, "heaven" refers to the saints and the "place" of the spiritual creatures, the angels, who surround God.186
FWIW, NL has previously stated that he does not believe in hell, in spite of the clear teaching of Scripture and the Catholic church on the subject.
I therefore would not expect him to acknowledge the reality of heaven either.
