Notes

Catechism of the Catholic Church, 365 - “The unity of soul and body is so profound that one has to consider the soul to be the "form" of the body: i.e., it is because of its spiritual soul that the body made of matter becomes a living, human body; spirit and matter, in man, are not two natures united, but rather their union forms a single nature.” - http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/365.htm
