He is on the cross because that is the centerpiece of catholic worship.. calling Christ down to the altar (a place of sacrifice) and feeding on his corpus

You're entitled to your grotesquely-contorted strawman version of Catholicism, but you cannot make it true.

Just wow.

Those who have had really poor catechesis know some of the right words, but they haven't a clue about the tune.

I've seen it in other circles. People fall away because the notions they formed when they were young do not stand up to adult thought, and they mistakenly think their immature notions are the fault of the teaching rather than a failure to engage the teaching as their minds develop.

Of course, some people seek in their religion an excuse to stop thinking and growing.

It's kind of important to me and, I think, to every Christian. So often the Gospel gets so muddied up when we try to bring up our children that all they remember is rules and sitting still and being bored and hearing that God is upset with them when they misbehave.

Christian education is hard.

1. The centrepiece of Christian worship is Christ's life, his sacrifice and resurrection.
2. We aren't cannibals -- read +Ignatius' letter explaining to the Emperor why we Christians aren't.
