CCC 990

The term "flesh" refers to man in his state of weakness and mortality.⁵³⁴ Cf. Gen 6:3; Ps 56:5; Isa 40:6. The "resurrection of the flesh" (the literal formulation of the Apostles' Creed) means not only that the immortal soul will live on after death, but that even our "mortal body" will come to life again.⁵³⁵ Rom 8:11.
