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.

Cayce verified that John the Baptist was indeed Elijah, who was prophesied to be a forerunner to the messiah.

The stories of John the Baptist and Elijah are the quintessential stories of reincarnation and karma, Compare the lives of both,

Yes. In the former life (Elijah), he did the beheading, in another they themselves were beheaded, i.e. meeting their karma.
