Pope Francis: All Religious Traditions Must Resist ‘Temptation to Fundamentalism’

Speaking on a stage together with Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, and Hindu representatives, Pope Francis appealed for peace amid the world’s current conflicts.

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis asked leaders of world religions to resist “the temptation to fundamentalism” for the sake of peace at an interreligious gathering Thursday in front of the Colosseum.

Peace “summons us to serve the truth and declare what is evil when it is evil, without fear or pretense, even and especially when it is committed by those who profess to follow the same creed as us,” the Pope said Oct. 7.

“For the sake of peace, please, in every religious tradition let us defuse the temptation to fundamentalism and every tendency to view a brother or sister as an enemy.”

Speaking on a stage together with Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, and Hindu representatives, Pope Francis appealed for peace amid the world’s current conflicts.

“Fewer arms and more food, less hypocrisy and more transparency, more vaccines distributed fairly and fewer weapons marketed indiscriminately,” he (Bergoglio) said.

“Ve haff vays of forcing you to NOT return to your roots.”
“Show us your new Catholic papers.”
“You’d better be vaccinated, but it’s OK to boink other men.”

The main difference between Protestants and the Pope is the Protestants admit that they are not Catholic.

Fundamental truths? [shrug] Who needs ‘em? In fact, it’s just that sort of fundamentalism that will blind you to the salvation that is Progressivism!

Thus guy thinks of all religions like social clubs, including the Catholic church. Just people with like interests hanging out together, none better than any other.

He's a heretic, a pope that isn't actually Catholic and seems to not even like actual catholics. Such times we live in.

Catholics have a long history of telling people to listen to them and not read the Bible.

How do you define "Fundamentalism"? How does he?

Oxford Dictionary:

1. a form of a religion, especially Islam or Protestant Christianity, that upholds belief in the strict, literal interpretation of scripture:

Miriam Webster
1 a:often capitalized : a movement in 20th century Protestantism emphasizing the literally interpreted Bible as fundamental to Christian life and teaching
b: the beliefs of this movement
c: adherence to such beliefs
a minister noted for his strict fundamentalism
2: a movement or attitude stressing strict and literal adherence to a set of basic principles
Islamic fundamentalism
political fundamentalism

Hasn’t Catholicism, until the time of Martin Luther, considered the fundamental faith of Western Europe?

Fundamentals are not created equal. Fundamentals of Mahomet bad. Fundamentals of Jesus good.

I’d like the Pope to answer “What is wrong with fundamental Christianity?”

Why should we resist any part of the Gospel? Shouldn’t we be striving to comply with the Creator’s commands and desires?

Pope Francis: “Don’t take EVERYTHING Jesus says seriously, let me cherry pick situations I like that can be used to embrace modernism”.
