To know God in Christ, we must accept his entire humanity (…) the Lord who becomes incarnate, is born, heals, teaches, suffers, dies, rises again and remains among us. (…) If Jesus has a real body, the communication of God’s truth is realised in that body, with its own way of perceiving and feeling reality, with its way of inhabiting the world and passing through it.
