Paragraph 6. MAN
Man, though made of body and
soul, is a unity. Through his very bodily condition he sums up in himself the
elements of the material world. Through him they are thus brought to their
highest perfection and can raise their voice in praise freely given to the
Creator. For this reason man may not despise his bodily life. Rather he is
obliged to regard his body as good and to hold it in honour since God has
created it and will raise it up on the last day 233
