Abstract

The dogmatic interpretation of the Church as it is found scattered throughout Thomas’ works is a presentation of a spiritual reality, the corpus Christi mysticum and the communio fidelium. The body of this thesis will show that the visible Church is the vehicle of God's supernatural, gracious activity among His creatures.
