Gregor.. Hom 32. in Evang. Et quia nonnulli ex discip•lis usque ado in corpore victuri erant ut Ecclesiam Dei constructam conspiceren•, & contra mundi hujus glorium erectam, consolatoria promissione nan• dieitur: Sunt quidam de hinc […] qui non gustabu•t mortem, donec videant reg•um Dei.

I conclude, as the Church is not only a mystical but a political body, So Christ is not only a mystical but a political Head.
