The core of the Church is the Holy Eucharist. No matter what your view is of Church doctrine....how can one turn their back on receiving the Body of Christ? This is a Church that many people consider a relic of the past. This is a Church that can't offer anything. Really? Do Catholics really understand their faith? I would bet that if the Church changed doctrine on the hot topics....that still wouldn't draw people to Her. What draws me to The Church is the Blessed Sacrament. It's simple. It is not the liturgy. It is not the music. It is not the art work. It is not the homily or either the smells or bells. These things are present in the mass to inspire us.

Luke 24:30-31
