Thank you annalex on the Catholic deifnitions of soul. That was my understanding of the "anima." There are three kinds of living things, plants, animals and man. They all possess "life" or "that which moves them." All life is from God and we must respect it. "Preaching" Gospels to flies, as Dr E. mockingly says, in no way means by words but rather as the saint said "even by words." That may be a little too much for those who can't think outside the box.

How many souls do you see?

I'm noticing a definite anti-hierarchical response on a couple of levels - the Church and creation.
I'm wondering if "The Great Chain of Being" is part of Eastern thought or only western.
