Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The "Summa Theologica" Of St. Thomas Aquinas, Vol. 3: Supplement Qq. LXIX-LXXXVI
Obj. 2. Further, Whatever has a definite place has more in common with that place than with any other. Now separated souls, like certain other spiritual substances, are indifferent to all places; for it cannot be said that they agree with certain bodies, and differ from others, Since they are utterly removed from all corporeal conditions. Therefore places should not be assigned for their reception.
Obj. 3. Further, Nothing is assigned to separated souls after death, except what conduces to their punishment or to their reward. But a corporeal place cannot conduce to their punishment or reward, since they receive nothing from bodies. Therefore definite places should not be assigned to receive them.
