In this episode, John and Fr. Stephen turn their attention to the Catholic view of the human person as a unified entity of body and soul. They unravel teachings from the Catechism, the evolution of the Church's understanding of spirit and soul over centuries, and the influences of diverse cultures, philosophers, and theologians while keeping in focus the human elements of self-understanding, freedom, decision-making, responsibility, and knowledge as being integral to our existence. They contemplate the implications of this viewpoint, underscoring the necessity of recognizing the complexity of the human person. They conclude with reflections on our eschatological end, offering insights on guiding others towards understanding the fullness of their being.
