The soul is the formal cause of the body. It is the axe's ability to chop, what gives the body direction and purpose. Not seperate. Different faculties of the soul-Plants have only faculty of nutrition-animals nutrition and desire. Humans-reason.

Peter Geach
Ressurrection is only meaningful way of talking about life after death. As people are a unity of body and soul survival after death must consist of the soul being reunited with the 'identifiable' body of the dead person. Reincarnation-no links

Aquinas
Mortal sin leads to separation from God. A just God must punish and reward.
