#12220 Did the Church Ever Teach Reincarnation? And More Questions - Jimmy Akin

Did the Catholic Church ever teach reincarnation? Some claim early Christians believed in it, but what does history actually say? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, we examine the origins of this myth, what the Church Fathers believed, and how Catholic doctrine on the soul and resurrection firmly rejects reincarnation. Karlo Broussard sets the record straight with clarity and charity.
