797 “What the soul is to the human body, the Holy Spirit is to the Body of Christ, which is the Church.”243 “To this Spirit of Christ, as an invisible principle, is to be ascribed the fact that all the parts of the body are joined one with the other and with their exalted head; for the whole Spirit of Christ is in the head, the whole Spirit is in the body, and the whole Spirit is in each of the members.”244 The Holy Spirit makes the Church “the temple of the living God”:

And here I thought we were the temples where the Holy Spirit resides. Can you provide Scriptural support for the ccc posting?

Ummmmm here I thought the church was the bride of Christ ...

2 Corinthians 11: ... I promised you as a pure bride to one husband--Christ. ... For I have betrothed you to Christ to present you to Him like a faithful bride to her one husband. ...

Eph 5 25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, 26so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.…

7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; 8 was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”— for the fine linen is dthe righteous deeds of the saints. 9 And the angel said2 to me, “Write this: eBlessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, "These are the true words of God.”
