You missed your calling; your powers of persuasion are hefty.

But I'm not quite sure what you meant by the following:

You only harm yourself and the Body of Christ when your natural and supernatural body and soul become separated and start to fragment.

Are you saying that unless my union with Christ takes place along side the fellowship of other Christians, my soul will begin to atrophy? And if so, can you elaborate?

It really is good of you to reach out to me in the way that you did; it is very Christ like.

Christ prayed in the following words:

"Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us [...]"

You cannot be truly one with Christ and separated from other Christians. No one is saved alone.

No,I was not saying that at all,my statements had nothing to do with you and the fellowship of other Christians.

In fact,I was trying to say,you should go fellowship with non-Catholic Christians.

I'd say the soul atrophies when one starts to lose their integrity,and that would include both individuals and entities.I interpreted what you said as a symptom of the disconnectedness that occurs when one's beliefs,words and actions are not in accord.
