Just for clarity Evangelical “fundamentalism” was a reaction to the 19th century theological liberalism. Thus conservative Christians proclaimed the fundamentals:
FIVE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE FAITH
There are five fundamentals of the faith which are essential for Christianity, and upon which we agree:
1. The Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1; John 20:28; Hebrews 1:8-9).
2. The Virgin Birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:27).
3. The Blood Atonement (Acts 20:28; Romans 3:25, 5:9; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 9:12-14).
4. The Bodily Resurrection (Luke 24:36-46; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 15:14-15).
5. The inerrancy of the scriptures themselves (Psalms 12:6-7; Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20).
So if Pope Francis is opposed to the above, then he is opposed to basic Biblical Christianity.
However,I can't help thinking that the world's definition of a fundamentalist is not quite the same as what a church-goer might think it is.
Considering that to one we are the savour of life unto life and to the other we have the stench of death it strikes me as dangerous ground the Pope is treading on.
"You just can’t say that, just as you can’t say that all Christians are fundamentalists"
Nasty trap that.
The fifth one is also Catholic dogma, but we perhaps understand it a bit differently from you.
Personally I think many of his comments are very poorly thought-out and do more harm than good, and this is a good example. Maybe he should learn not to talk to journalists, who are experts at taking things out of context and proportion. He has people who are paid to talk to journalists for him.
Those are the foundation structure of the Christian faith, no matter what church you attend.
