Your playing with CCC and Code of Canon Law is amusing to me.  Joseph Ratzinger had a hand in both.  After all, he was JP II's theologian.  JP II was a great philosopher, but he wasn't a theologian.  I didn't state that Joseph Ratzinger was the SOLE author of the CCC, but you had better believe that as the head of the CDF, Cottier had to have Ratzinger's approval for what he did compose.  

2) Secondly, I don't have to RESPOND to you at all.  Pastoral care goes beyond what Canon Law lists.  People are not just served by priests dispensing the sacraments.  It is taking the time to go out to the people---where the people are.

3) ' Salvation of souls'---gee, are we pure spirits?  We are beings composed of both body and soul.  In his words in both the Beatitudes and in the Gospel of Matthew 25:31-47---Jesus doesn't JUST refer to the 'soul' dimension in his comments.  He does refer to the physical as well.  "I was hungry, I was thirsty, I was naked."  I suggest that you consider HUMANITY!
