I have been having a discussion with a Catholic friend via email and we have been talking about what the soul (and even God for that matter) is made of. She says that the soul and God are spiritual and are not made of anything. I believe that the spiritual realm may be energy of course I can’t prove it. I have asked her to show me any biblical or religious reference to back up her claim that the spirit is not made of anything. She says she will try to find something but that I should ask Catholic Answers. So, is there something to back up this idea or is it just tradition?
Thanks
 
Hi,

The soul in non-corporeal. This means that it is not physical. To speak of it being made of something is to speak of it as somehow physical. Speaking of it in terms of energy is still corporeal. Energy can be measured. One cannot measure the soul.
