“Since teleportation would seperate the body from the soul, how would it do anything but turn you into a corpse in another location?”
I’m not sure why you think that would happen, “seperating the body from the soul”. I don’t reckon such a thing could be undone by mere science. Am I missing something?
I don’t see why God would bar scientific teleportation when so many Saints have bilocated. If that’s how we are meant to eventually get around, then fine. If not, fine. I’ll follow the Church teaching on the matter.
What if you only sent things without souls? Like robots?

Teleportation, as I understand it, consists of turning the human body into a stream of information/energy that would describe the precise state of every atom and sub-atomic particle, then beaming that information to some other location and reconstituting a body from it.
Since there would be no movement of actual matter from one location to another, I can’t see how the soul would be moved from what is literally one body into a new one. Its rather like the Greek speculative philsophy question of if you take a wood ship, and then replace every board that makes up the ship, is it still the same ship you started with, or is it a new one?
This is an interesting philosophical question though.
