Please see my post regarding where the dead go when they die. They have no knowledge of what is occurring on earth and do not hear from the living.

As I said before, are you hungry enough for Jesus and truth as revealed by the Holy Spirit? Are you willing to lay down everything you know and love for Him, including your Catholic dogma? If your answer is no, then there is nothing more to say. If your answer is yes, then you have a wonderful journey ahead of you.

What you're saying doesn't make sense to a Catholic. We "literally" receive Him [if we wish] daily in the Breaking of the Bread. Why would we walk away from such strength, such power, such love?

Who else but saints (the strongest people on this earth in my opinion) could make jokes while being turned on a roaster spicket, or burned at the stake with no complaint, or marched out in front of lions and gladly take their fate... tens of thousands of saints... all suffering for Jesus, giving all for Our Lord... and doing so with so much joy. It was difficult learning about Catholicism, that's true, as I was doing so with a heavy sin burden on my back, but once released from the darkness and doom....... well, I'd never go back to that.
