Other than possible confusion about what "spirit" may mean, I would have to say yes.jonny said:For example, in the LDS church, the resurrection is the reuniting of the body and the spirit. We believe that when Christ was resurrected that his spirit and body were reunited. Also, that each of our spirits will be reunited with our bodies again. Is this consistent with Catholic teachings?
I think you will find that the use of the word 'Soul' in the Catholic faith is to distinguish the Soul of someone from the Holy Spirit.jonny said:Thanks! That does sound consistent with our teachings. I believe that what the Catholic church calls the "soul" we call the "spirit."
I was going to give you frubals for helping me out, but it looks like I'll have to come back later after I spread them around!
"...(S)oul" also refers to the innermost aspect of man, that which is of greatest value in him, that by which he is most especially in God's image: "soul" signifies the spiritual principle in man."jonny said:Thanks!

997 What is "rising"? In death, the separation of the soul from the body, the human body decays and the soul goes to meet God, while awaiting its reunion with its glorified body. God, in his almighty power, will definitively grant incorruptible life to our bodies by reuniting them with our souls, through the power of Jesus' Resurrection.
999 How? Christ is raised with his own body: "See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself", but he did not return to an earthly life. So, in him, "all of them will rise again with their own bodies which they now bear," but Christ "will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body," into a "spiritual body".
