According to Cardona, the real constituent of the human person is the actus essendi, which makes it subsist. The human soul communicates its own act of being to the body, thus elevating it to the level of the person. Body and soul enrich each other. Cardona bases the entitative unity of the human person on its personal act of being; and the operative one on the maximum expression of said being: love, the supreme act of liberty, which should inform any other action or operation. The (human) person is described as “someone who stands before God forever.” Depersonalisation in the contemporary world originates in the theoretical and practical loss of the relation of man with God, which predicamentally shows the direct creation of each man and woman by God.
