Life would be much EASIER not being a Catholic.

I tried it for a while and had to come back. The worship was empty and they didn't have the Real Presence.

I know what you mean.

There is nothing like the feeling after confession from the power of Christ's absolution. I welcome the penance.
There is NOTHING like knowing that we can receive the Food (Body and Blood) from Heaven on our tortuous path to eternity. Traveling through life without it makes the journey that much more difficult, heart breaking and empty.

Without the Eucharist, you might as well stay home, watch a televangelist, read the Good Book and say some prayers. Well, the Lord's Prayer.

We have the 'real' presence...What happened to you???

Rom_8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Rom_8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom_8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

And the scripture doesn't mean God being in your stomach...
