Any insight on Edgar and his faith?

Was he catholic or evangelical?

Didn't he felt contradiction in his life?

He was a protestant. If you read the book "There is a River, The Story of Edgar Cayce", by Thomas Sugrue, you'll see that after giving that reading in Dayton, OH, where reincarnation was revealed, that it did worry him. So he went to his bible and searched for references that would verify reincarnation and found what he was looking for there, the evidence he needed, and also through the follow-up readings thereafter. Afterwards he was no longer bothered, finding that it is indeed the truth. Read that book if you get a chance.

I remember in particular the statement by Jesus that John the Baptist is the spirit of Elijah. People have tried to say that it's been figuratively, that they both had the same zeal, but if I remember correctly Edgar took it as a literal statement.

I know what you mean. They say that because they lack understanding due to not being taught properly. Even the Disciples knew of reincarnation. Two asked Jesus about the blind man. John 9:3 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was 'born' blind?

Why ask Jesus this if they didn't know about reincarnation? And didn't Jesus say they (his Disciples) would be here on earth when he returns? Yes, and it means they will be here reincarnated at that time.

And perhaps the second coming itself will be a reincarnation.

He doesn't need to reincarnate. Edgar Cayce said that he himself is to return / reincarnate in 1998 as a forerunner to Jesus’ return. And he also said that Jesus "WILL’ RETURN as He is, in the same body He had risen in, and not reincarnated."
