Christ Has a Human Soul

Question:

Does Christ have a human soul?

Answer:

Yes, Jesus had a human soul (CCC 470-475).

Because “human nature was assumed, not absorbed,” in the mysterious union of the Incarnation, the Church was led over the course of centuries to confess the full reality of Christ’s human soul, with its operations of intellect and will, and of his human body (Catechism 470).
