First, the comprehensive act. How can two persons unite comprehensively? To unite comprehensively, they must unite at all levels of their personhood. But what is a person? Human beings are mind-body unities. We are not ghosts in machines or souls that are somehow inhabiting flesh and bones. Rather, we are enfleshed souls or ensouled bodies—a mind-body unity. Thus, to unite with someone in a comprehensive way, one must unite with him at all levels of his personhood: a union of hearts, minds, and bodies.
