1015 "The flesh is the hinge of salvation" (Tertullian, De res. 8, 2:PL 2, 852). We believe in God who is creator of the flesh; we believe in the Word made flesh in order to redeem the flesh; we believe in the resurrection of the flesh, the fulfillment of both the creation and the redemption of the flesh.

A number of folks have asked about this, some with apparent sincerity. Here is the Catholic view (which I agree with, of course.)

The Catholic view??? Here's God's view...Why would one chose the Catholic view over God's view???

1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

The Catholic Church is the earthly Body of Christ founded by Christ and meant to preserve his teachings intact as a “common body” handed down to St.Peter, his apostles and their successors. This way we won’t have 32,000 different brands of Christianity from Joel Osteen to Bishop Jake. Oh, and I forgot the Mormons and Rev. Wright.

What group do you belong to, that denies such a fundamental Christian doctrine as the resurrection of the body? That's a not just a "Catholic idea"; it's universally held by all of mainstream Christianity.

Read this article, from an assuredly non-Catholic source, and get back to us.
