Paragraph 6. MAN

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

367
Sometimes the soul is distinguished from the spirit: St. Paul for instance
prays that God may sanctify his people “wholly”, with “spirit
and soul and body” kept sound and blameless at the Lord’s
coming.²³⁶ The Church teaches that this distinction does not introduce
a duality into the soul.²³⁷ “Spirit” signifies that from
creation man is ordered to a supernatural end and that his soul can gratuitously
be raised beyond all it deserves to communion with God.²³⁸
