The sap,the lifeblood of the tree travels up the trunk just under the bark so if you cut the bark you interupt the flow of sap.
Go to the base of the tree, about 18" from the ground and cut a 4" strip of bark all the way around the trunk, make sure you cut into the bark until you hit the solid wood behind. Presto the tree will die...
There are a couple of ways to kill a tall catalpa tree: You can apply chemicals that kill a catalpa a few ways, including on the exterior, as in a basal bark application or under the bark, using a hack-and-squirt application, and after you cut it down, with a cut-stump application.

Yes, cutting down a tree will eventually kill the roots because they rely on the tree for nutrients and support.
You can kill a crab apple tree by cutting it down with an axe.
Any "attack" on a tree is harmful, much like cutting your arm with a knife. It won't kill you but it will hurt, but eventually it will heal - much like a tree. Cutting any part of the bark removes the ability of a tree to "pump" water from it's roots to the furthest leaves, so any incision will affect a trees growth.
Cutting down a tree will not necessarily kill the roots completely. Some roots may still survive and continue to grow, depending on the tree species and the extent of the cutting.
Cutting a tree down does not necessarily kill its roots. The roots may still be alive and continue to grow even after the tree has been cut down.
A maple tree can be debarked by cutting into the bark of the tree and then peeling or stripping it away. This is hard on a tree and should only be done when necessary.
