(Continued from page 2) the true resurrection of this flesh that we now possess’ (Council of Lyons II). We sow a corruptible body in the tomb, but he raises up an incorruptible body, a spiritual body” ( CCC 1017 ).

And so, when we, God willing, share in the resurrection of Christ, we don’t become an angel. An angel has a completely differ ent nature and is, thus, a different creature. Human nature consists in having a body and soul composite.

Perhaps the thought that human beings become angels or spirits after death is conceived by the reality that the soul separates from the body at death. However, as previously mentioned, the Church clearly teaches that the body and soul are reunited at the resur- rection of the body.

The very fact that Christ, the God-man, has taken on human flesh and has been resurrected in his body, tells us that the material world is good; the body is good. In the Scriptures we hear the “flesh” portrayed negativity at times. For instance, Jesus say s, “the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” ( Mt. 26:41 ). Here, and in other places the “flesh” simply means human weakness due to Original Sin.
