"we focus on the Living Christ instead of the dead Christ on the cross."

Do others think that Catholics concentrate on the "dead Christ"?

from my observation of it, yes. Wearing the cross symbolizes the dead Christ, him on the cross at church also symbolizes the dead Christ. The only time the church recognizes the resurrected Christ is during Easter. We celebrate the living resurrected Christ all year long, and Easter is when it's celebrated as the day Christ is resurrected, but we don't make a big deal over it.
