Factors To Bear In Mind Regarding Catholic Fundamentalism

By Freida Michael


This has been at the center of controversy which brings out a lot of contrasting ideologies about the Catholics and the Protestants. It all comes out on the subject of the Bible and there various take on it. Their views on this is expressed differently fundamentalists being the key players on this. Discussed below are factors to understand pertaining to Catholic fundamentalism.

Opposed to what the conservatives believe in, it is certain that the converts are disagreeing that they are on the right track. To them getting saved and accepting Christ as their savior does not involve any process. It all needs one to know the biblical verses and knowing God and that is all. This places the converts in a different context according to their rules.

If it happens that one argues with a fundamentalist, there main area of concern is the way their antagonists expresses some ideologies in the scriptures. They have quoted a number of areas in a bid to convince the world that the other churches are misleading the people. It is in that context that they are able to come up with a contrasted creed with what is quoted in the scriptures.

The old schools view according to the one who left is that the earth is wicked and the kingdom is sacred. In a different perspective, the ones who changed have opposing views. All they utter is that they believe the earth is never wicked. However, the kingdom is sacred though. This was in pointing out that it is the traditionalists who are wrong and thus offering a converse observation.

The creator does not criticize the human creations in any way according to those who left. It is said that those who remained give a point that the universe is not worthy. This excluded the idea that it is people who commit the sins on the said world and not the universe. Those who are against it say that it is them its worthy and souls mistakes should be taken into account.

Their case says that fundamentalists violate the rule and their faith. Their scope of interpretation is literal. This is pure violation and more of being selfish as they encourage individualism. This poses danger to the faiths of a lot of people according to them. Individualism is simply said to violate the tradition of the scripture. Their statement is that encouraging individualism excludes other people as they make their relationship with the creator so personal.

Moreover those who converted make unreasonable arguments out of the context without understanding the Bible itself. They believe that Jesus becomes a personal savior immediately you turn your ways to him. This is to say that they encourage simplicity which might never be the case with the ones contrasting with their ideas and their principle. Their emphasis is laid more on New Testament leaving out the Old.

In conclusion, all these are what people should know regarding the whole factor. As much as every person has the right to worship, those who are conservatives still believe on their strength in this. They believe is that they still rein in the evangelical part of it and they will never be overtaken.
