Ok, three questions for a traditional Catholic (full disclosure: I was reared in the Church. I was baptized and confirmed a Catholic, studied my catechism and won prizes for Scripture at Sunday school).
1. Eucharist tastes awful, like a specially low grade of pasteboard. Since it is going to transubstantiate into the flesh of Jesus anyway, why can't the Church make it taste better?
2. I am male, I was confirmed and have not been excommunicated. Therefore, I am eligible to be elected Pope (seriously, those are the only requirements). Isn't there something deeply, seriously flawed with that?
3. Do you miss the good old days where you could silence heretics by the simple expedient of lighting them on fire?
Thank you in advance for your answers, which I'm sure will bring me closer to God.
