Pope Benedict the XVI , is a Christian scholar who is known for his conservative values in Christianity. According to his beliefs ,, other branches of this religion are not deserved to be called real Christians. This is while,, the majority of the Christianity believers ,,, who are more than 2 billion people of the world are not even Catholics.
There have been srong indications demonstrating that the phenomenon of fundamentalism is strongly existing among the Muslims ,,, since they are for some reason very proud to announce it outloud for their political purposes.
Such a political phenomenon has not been existing among the Catholic church in a transparent and obvious form by far and large. This tradition , apparently has been violated by the Pope Benedict the XVI, since he even was famous for his disintegrating ideas in his homeland Germany. He had uttered more than once to his Protestant compatriots that , according to his view of the Christianity which he reckons as the truth ,,, they are not real Christians.
This could be interpreted as a harmless view and personal intellectual outcomes of an scholar , until the recent years , specially after the new political movements of European crusader thoughts , led by the like French President Nicolas Sarkozy took office. Now even he and the other more or less like-minded politicians of the new wave , whom are even called the "Suburbs Conservatism" are pushing forward that particular Christian method that is known as the heart of the Catholisim.
The new phenomenon that is persuading religious intervention into the govenrments affairs and started specially since Sakozy's becoming a president to undermine the outcomes of thr European secularism since the Renaissence and on and rive for more church oriented politics than the diverse mechanism of politically controlled church.
Obviously this has intimidated many French Socialist Party's followers and members , along with the believers in a Secular France as the cradle of the secularism for the whole European Democracy.
President Sarkozy is not known for his deep beliefs if any principle at all ,,,, let alone the Christianity that is not his ancestors religion by origin. His opportunistic stand in most of the questions undermines even the Pope's outdated but sincere efforts to claim for the Catholicism according to his own beliefs. The danger is that this spiritual issue which according to the most European Democracies Constitutions are being outlined as the fundamental rights of any individual in his/her private life.
Fundamentalism is criticized in the case of the most of the Islamists who are tyranizing over 1 billion believers of this religion according to their own approach of Islam. This approach is associated with grave crimes against the human rights of the citizens ,, look at Iran, Taliban's controlled regins and Alghaedah's projects for the human beings! In short eliminating the multifarious thinkers and intolerance is the nich name of the Fundamentalists. Christianity in my view should not risk the danger of eliminating secularism because the fronrtiers between fundamentalist Islam and and any othetr religion ,,,Christianity in particular is not so distinguished due to the fact that any religion can easily wipe of the Secularism's outcomes to the benefit of fundamentalism. This is in the religion's character if they would be left to the hands of the political opportunists.
