Pope warns of "every type of fundamentalism, whether religious or of any kind."

[kpete]

The pope warns against religious extremism and fundamentalism:

"We know that no religion is immune from forms of individual delusion or ideological extremism. This means that we must be especially attentive to every type of fundamentalism, whether religious or of any other kind."

He adds:

"But there is another temptation which we must especially guard against: the simplistic reductionism which sees only good or evil; or, if you will, the righteous and sinners. The contemporary world, with its open wounds which affect so many of our brothers and sisters, demands that we confront every form of polarization which would divide it into these two camps.

1. I'll lay odds that

The extremists and other pretend "Christians" such as my sister in law and a co-worker, you know the Kim Davis types, will be certain those remarks are directed towards others, and not them. They will learn nothing and go right on being the 10lb loads of crap in 5lb sacks they've always been.

Your penance is to say ten Our Bernies and five Hail Hillarys.
