"...it is neither the spirit alone nor the body alone that loves..."

God & Church
Written By Rhonda Ortiz

The epicure Gassendi used to offer Descartes the humorous greeting: 'O Soul!' And Descartes would reply: 'O Flesh!' Yet it is neither the spirit alone nor the body alone that loves: It is man, the person, a unified creature composed of body and soul, who loves.

Benedict XVI, Deus Caritas Est, 5
