Are there an infinite amount of human souls?

If not, will Jesus not return until all of them have passed through earth?

If not, what happens to those souls?
 
As the hazel nut there says—Souls do not pre-exist. The Church teaches we are hylomorphic—body soul composite. The soul is the form of the body, it is the thing that makes the matter we are made of become a human body. This means we are not two natures, a soul and a body, but the union of soul and body which forms one nature.

Each soul is created immediately by God–it separates from the body at death and it will be reunited with the body at the final resurrection. Without our bodies, our souls only have limited functions.
