“Fundamentalism is a disease that is in all religions. We Catholics we have some, some, many, who believe they have the absolute truth and go on dirtying others with slander, and libel, and they hurt, they hurt… And I say this because it is my church, we, everyone! And you have to fight. Religious fundamentalism is not religious. Why? Because there is God. ‘Idolatrous, as is idolatrous money… But fundamentalism that always ends in a tragedy or crime, it is a bad thing, but there is a bit ‘in all religions.” Pope Francis, during press conference on the plane returning to Rome from Africa.

Breathing for humans is “fundamental” so that is now a sickness too?
How is it that these incredibly nonsensical statements go unchallenged?
Sure there are erroneous doctrines and unsubstantiated fundamentals but he (the Pope) infers that all fundamentals are a sickness,… this is ludicrous.
It has to be because we are deceived.
