“Just as in a physical body the operation of one member contributes to the good of the whole body, so it is in a spiritual body such as the Church. And since all the faithful are one body, the good of one member is communicated to another; everyone members, as the Apostle says, of one another [Eph 4:25]. For that reason, among the points of faith handed down by the Apostles, is that there is a community of goods in the Church, and this is expressed in the words Communion of Saints.” ReasonWholeBodySpiritualCommunityChurchMembersSaintFaithfulOperationsGoodsCommunionApostlesPhysical Body Author:Thomas Aquinas
