Hmm. I guess maybe it would depend on if the same body (atoms, molecules)was re-constructed if that method of travel was used. I can’t see the Church declairing the body who was reconstructed souless, however, but they might ban the use of such transportaion due to the initial transformation of the body. Maybe they would say it has a different soul. Perhaps if people always arrived dead but animals always survived that would be evidence that the process was divorcing the body from the soul? The problem in any case is you are still beaming it, so it is still going to take a while to get any where on a galactic scale. I’m not sure it would even qualify as “teleportation” as you are still moving through space, albeit at close to the speed of light as some type of beam of particles, sorta like the transporters from Star Trek.
I guess by teleportation I meant just shifting objects in space without moving. Or the worm-hole thing, where a short cut through space is created connecting to distant places, where you step through and appear somewhere else.
It is indeed interesting to think about!!

Its not so much the Church declaring a body reconstrcuted to be soulless, but rather recognizing the danger that upon arrival, you might have simply been turned into a corpse because your soul did not travel with you, having been seperated from the body during the process of destroying the body and turning it into information and energy.
Its certainly not something I'd want to risk being the guinea pig on.
connecting to distant places
But what if the Earth is in a special place in the universe (i.e. the solution of the Earth being in a low density void to the dark matter/dark energy problem that eliminates the need for dark matter/dark energy), and it turns out there are no distant places? We understand so little of the universe due to apparent scale and our own limitations that being involved in such experiments would make me very hesitant.
