Pope Satan speaks . .
The wool is way over their eyes.
Submission. Submission. I’ve heard that English translation before. I wonder where.
More like raging, virulent parasitic infection of people who stand against all of its principles.
Pope Bozo the First
Vatican II False Religion of Ecumenism....been around way before Francis.
This won't stop FReeper Catholics from still using "Fundamentalist" as a curse word.
This statement is on the level of “bad word is bad”. One would think that the leader of the largest religious institution in the world would be a bit more precise in his language and thinking.
Before, and still now largely, we were known as “Evangelicals”. The term, Fundamentalist, comes from a series of essays, “The Fundamentals” printed at the personal expense of Lyman Stewart and his brother, of Union Oil Company. Hundreds of thousands of these booklets were mailed free of charge to every community leader in the country. If you believed what was in those booklets, you were a “fundamentalist”.
The wiki article on this is good and if you will let me know what you think I will be curious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fundamentals
At the end of the wiki page, find links to these essays, which you can read for yourself. The four volume set in .pdf format and edited by R. A. Torrey is the best way. I own the single volume hardback published by Biola in the early 1950’s. (No you can’t have it. I inherited it from my father-in-law, who was somewhat influential in the early days of the Conservative Baptist Association.)
The term “evangelical” carried, during the early decades of the 20th century, the same pejorative connotations as the term “fundamentalist” does today, until a speech by Harold J. Ockenga for the founding of Fuller Seminary in which he imagined a compromise position he called a “new evangelicalism.”
The former president of the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship, my friend, Dr. John Vaughn, tried to raise money to do it again, to print the booklets and mail them out everywhere free. I suspect that among other more noble goals, he also wanted to rescue the term from complete destruction. He failed in this. He is now retired, and our fellowship has changed its name to “Foundations Baptist Fellowship Int’l”. They wanted to keep the letters FBF!
I invite everyone to continue to call us names. It seems to be working for you.
