Aren't we all living in "the Matrix"? Certainly I would hope that all Christians agree that there is more to God's universe than what we perceive by our five senses.
If anything, I would argue that Catholics are more open to a fuller reality. The central act of our Faith - The Eucharist - is an acknowledgment that human senses are limited.
I think you could very well be deluded. Thus in a Matrix. Catholics cannot be open to reality when all their beliefs and practices are determined by the Leadership of their church and it’s authority over you, over that of Christ and His written word....who Is the rightful authority.
You state the Ecuharist is the central act of your faith. Where in Christianity the Ressurection is central...He Lives! and celebration of that. Without the Ressurection the Crucifixion is meaningless.
