Spiritual body


In Christianity, the apostle Paul introduced the concept of the spiritual body in the New Testament, describing the resurrected body as "spiritual" in contrast to the psychical body or "natural body".
Christian teaching traditionally interprets Paul as comparing a resurrected body with a mortal body, saying that it will be a different kind of body; a "spiritual body", meaning an immortal body, or incorruptible body.

In the Catholic tradition

In the Catholic Church, traditionally the resurrected body is called the "glorified body", and retained four characteristics: incorruptibility, subtlety, impassibility, and agility. The bodies of the damned are also raised incorrupt, but not glorified or free from suffering.
