The Development Of Catholic Fundamentalism

By Beryl Dalton


A complication occurs when Catholic a practice contradicts church teachings. A good example is the stating that human beings did not originate from one set of parents because the story in the genesis was just but a myth. They fact that they support remarriages, artificial contraception and homosexuals act has brought more contradictions this is clearly opposed to the teachings. This has all resulted to some members turning to catholic fundamentalism for help.

The term fundamentalism has been used for various meaning concerning the church. It is based on the idea of a false dichotomy that is divided between the truth and hate. It has also been connected to inflexible literalism that results to wrenching of writing right from its context of the passage that is in the holy bible scriptures and also the accepted customs and practices.

At another angle, it can also represent the individuals who do quote documents of conciliar or even the catechism in a way of literal meaning. The aim is to emphasize on the credibility of most practices, as well as the teachings.

The Holy Scriptures are written in form of a symbolic language that is offered in various forms. These scriptures even if they are based on truth and the again central source meanings used for theology, it is not the main book for the most precise theological interpretation. The church thus, is obliged to define changes that arise in the words associated to conscription, including. The substances that are used for bread and wine are transformed into blood and body substances, divinity and also the Soul of Christ, the intention was to understand these terms literally. These have resulted in misunderstanding when it comes to the definition of transubstantiation.

In its various teachings, church is still trying to widen its base so as to emphasize its teachings and morals related to its doctrine with a high level of precision. The language used for its pronouncements is well selected so that the original meaning is not lost. The reason behind this is for church to have the teachings demand be literally viewed and accepted.

Another related issue is the renowned practice of applying various political terms such as liberal and conservative towards church ideologies. This occurred in an adult theology lecture in the state of New Orleans the lecture ridiculed the churches on the North shore who are considered to be ultra conservative. These terms were condemned by Pope John two in 1998 where he was addressing the U. S bishops.

The major problem of applying politically to the church is that it tarnishes the concept of truth and hence leads to rejection of a person can understand the objective right. Everything turns out to be personal, subjective opinion; this is because if one comes out with his version of truth and the church hold its version the result will not be appealing. The use of political words also leads to a church teachings being dissent from the moral rights.

Churches should be allowed to be led by the Pope himself by concentrating on his pronouncement and doctrines. This does not depend on his ways of teaching authority; He is a leader influenced by a particular divine from the above.
