It seems like it should be, but I'm not sure if it is.
My Lord and my God.

Yes, it most certainly is. The Council of Trent dedicated it's 13th session to the Holy Eucharist and the Real Presence.

                                                            CHAPTER I.
On the real presence of our Lord Jesus Christ in the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist
[...]
There are eight Chapters on the Holy Eucharist, then the Canons. This is the first Canon...

CANON I.-If any one denieth, that, in the sacrament of the most holy Eucharist, are
contained truly, really, and substantially, the body and blood together with the soul
and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and consequently the whole Christ; but saith
that He is only therein as in a sign, or in figure, or virtue; let him be anathema.
   
Even after a long life of sin, if the Christian receives the Sacrament of the dying with the appropriate dispositions, he will go straight to heaven without having to go to purgatory. - Fr. M. Philipon; This sacrament prepares man for glory immediately, since it is given to those who are departing from this life. - St. Thomas Aquinas; It washes away the sins that remain to be atoned, and the vestiges of sin; it comforts and strengthens the soul of the sick person, arousing in him a great trust and confidence in the divine mercy. Thus strengthened, he bears the hardships and struggles of his illness more easily and resists the temptation of the devil and the heel of the deceiver more readily; and if it be advantageous to the welfare of his soul, he sometimes regains his bodily health. - Council of Trent

We are so blessed as Catholics. Deo Gratias!!
