The glorified body of Jesus.
Catholics believe in the resurrection of the dead. This is when our earthly body resurrect into glorified body. This is different from resucitated body, in which a dead body comes back to life, i.e. there is no significant change before it dies and after it comes back to life.
In resurrection, the physical body becomes glorified body. This body is a perfect one, it never grows old, it has no scars or any other forms of imperfection. It is also no longer governed by the principle of contradiction. In other words this body can transcend space and time.
But don't you notice that Thomas was able to put his fingers in Jesus side, hands and feet. Places in Jesus body where the spear and nails passed through? If that is so then it's not consistent with common understanding of a glorified body, ie. absense of imperfection.
Perhaps, this doubting Thomas story is just an adds on just to prove to the Jews that Jesus indeed rose from the dead.
