I'm just grateful that this decision by the fundies will not have any significant impact.

This is the first time I've heard anyone use the term "fundamentalists" to describe some Roman Catholics, but there are some who fit the description. However I wouldn't want to be heard saying that anywhere near where I live, 'cause there are still some fundies who would really get their panties in a bunch if they heard that!

Um, Catholicism is one of the more conservative Christian religions, yeah, there are definitely Catholic fundies out there.

Not all Catholics are fundies, of course.

Ben, you are cool by me. I don't much care for your classicist leanings, but at least you are civil, polite, and reasonable.

You don't understand what the term fundamentalist means, do you?

[MrFun]

Yes, I do -- it's when you literally intepret the Bible to contemporary society.

So wouldn't it make more sense, that you cannot be a fundie and a liberal? Wouldn't that be something of an oxymoron?

In other words -- you can be a fundie and a conservative, but you really cannot be a fundie and a liberal.

Or maybe that doesn't make any sense . . .?

Yuh, but on this forum you won't find any recognition of that fact.
Sorry, I still remember back a few years ago when a large portion of this forum community had the knee jerk beliefs: Protestant=Fundamentalist, Catholic=Liberal. Of course that was when CivNation still roamed the boards.

Fundamentalism and Conservatism are not the same thing. Fundamentalist Christians believe in the Bible as literal and inerrant, the sole source of the Theological truth. Catholics don't believe that.

All denominational religions have their share of extremist groups, don't they?

[Shi Huangdi]

Yes. But extremist and Fundamentalist don't mean the same thing at all.

Really??

Because I usually perceive those who interpret the Bible in literal terms, as being extremists, and on the fringes of whatever religious denomination they belong to (such as Catholicism).
