“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”:²⁴⁵
