===Aquinas and Augustine of Hippo=== In his ''Compendium Theologiae'', [[Thomas Aquinas]] quotes another [[Doctor of the Church]], [[Augustine of Hippo|St Augustine]], to explain that no one is spared death and the separation of the soul from the body. The rapture of the Church, on the other hand, concerns the death of the faithful and their immediate [[resurrection of the flesh]] immediately after death:<ref>{{cite book |url=https://isidore.co/aquinas/english/Compendium.htm#243 |title=Compendium Theologiae |chapter=243 - Universality of the Judgement |language=en}}</ref> {{blockquote|Accordingly those who are found alive at the Lord’s coming will be marked off from those who have died before, not for the reason that they will never die, but because in the very act by which they are taken up “in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air” (1 Thessalonians 4: 16), they will die and immediately rise again, as Augustine teaches.|''Compendium Theologiae'', Ch. 243}}
