These "fundamentalists" may actually be Catholics. It's not clear from the article.

But I thought Catholicism excluded any kind of "fundamentalism" at all. After all, "fundamentalists" are Catholics' favorite punching bag.

Obviously a bunch of Southern Baptists are sullying true chr*stianity's good, tolerant, relativist name!

I will repeat the comment I made in post #1:

Note: DPA, a German news agency, probably had another meaning for "fundamentalist" than what we Americans would call "fundamentalist."

You are speaking from an American perspective. Traditional Catholics are often called “fundamentalist” in Europe, especially by liberal-modernist detractors. In America, traditionalists are sometimes pejoratively labeled “the Catholic Taliban.”

Are you suggesting that the Catholic Church is relativist? And here I thought BXVI was against the dictatorship of relatism...
