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.
