Roman Catholic AnswerThe most special things about any Catholic Church you enter is that they contain the physical presence of Jesus in the Most Sacred Eucharist reserved in the Tabernacle. This is why you see people genuflecting upon entering a Church: because God is physically present right up there behind the altar.

from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994

1381 "That in this sacrament are the true Body of Christ and his true Blood is something that 'cannot be apprehended by the sense,' says St. Thomas, 'but only by faith, which relies on divine authority.' For this reason, in a commentary on Luke 22:19 ('This is my body which is given for you.'), St. Cyril says: 'Do not doubt whether this is true, but rather receive the words of the Savior in faith, for since he is the truth, he cannot lie.'" (St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae III, 75, 1: cf Paul VI, Mysterium fidei18; St. Cyril of Alexandria, In Luc. 22, 19: J.P. Migne, ed, Patrologia Graeca {Paris, 1857-1866} 72, 912; cf. Paul VI, Mysterium fidei 18)
