Giordano Bruno's ensouled monads, Rene Descartes' (divisible) particles of res extensa, Pierre Gassendi's (indivisible) atoms with their hooks and eyes, and the chemical atoms and corpuscles that were proposed in the period between Daniel Sennert and Robert Boyle have very little in common with one another. There appears to be little danger that even the creeping infallibilism of the magisterium will mandate theologians to teach that pickles have souls, although they might be asked to explain why Aquinas thought males were ensouled at forty days and females at eighty. In Christianity, we are ensouled bodies, not souls who just happen to have bodies. |
