The important thing to remember in Catholicism is that matter is GOOD, that God created matter, pronounced it good, and that we are being saved through matter. Remember, Our Blessed Lord incarnated in a human, physical body, which He will possess for all eternity. The "material matter" of creation is now an intimate part of God.
