With a Building if you get all the pieces, at the last, you have only a piece
The name of this unit is "CAPStone" of "KEY Stone" and it is the stone that project a building
For this, in the Catholic Church the altar is a Stone. Because the CAPStone is JesusChrist. Then the project of the structure of a Catholic Church makes from this CAPStone: The design is created around this CAPStone
" Altar = CAPStone = JesusChrist "
And... where are the rest of the Stones?
The rest of the stones are the Saints. They are Hundreds, Thousands Millions of People that they were in this planet and they did the Good. And they Live
So, the gates of the hell will not prevail over Catholic Church. Because the death can not retain the Life (because the death is not the Lord of the Life) then the death is not the owner of the Life. Can not Govern the life
Then the Sould (awares or not) decides:
Or returns to Good, or not returns
God always wants that we return to her

756 "Often, too, the Church is called the building of God. The Lord compared himself to the stone which the builders rejected, but which was made into the corner-stone. On this foundation the Church is built by the apostles and from it the Church receives solidity and unity. This edifice has many names to describe it: the house of God in which his family dwells; the household of God in the Spirit; the dwelling-place of God among men; and, especially, the holy temple. This temple, symbolized in places of worship built out of stone, is praised by the Fathers and, not without reason, is compared in the liturgy to the Holy City, the New Jerusalem. As living stones we here on earth are built into it. It is this holy city that is seen by John as it comes down out of heaven from God when the world is made anew, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.148
