Many believe that Fundamentalism is, in a word, “weird”. It’s almost impossible for the worldly to keep from mocking Fundamentalists for believing and obeying rules that were written thousands of years ago. Simple multiplication implies that it’s at least ten or twenty times weirder to take 2,000 to 4,000 year old Scripture as seriously as a 200 year old Constitution, and an increasing number of people won’t even do that.
To an enlightened modernist, Catholicism is even weirder than Fundamentalism. Believing that wine and wafer become Blood and Body and that ordained, celibate priests have the power to bring about that transubstantiation and provide forgiveness for sins, make the Catholic faith incomprehensible to the secular.
The deeper one goes into either Fundamentalism or Catholicism, the weirder both can be seen to become. One can easily see why so many people are anti-both. At the same time, some Fundamentalists tend to be a little “iffy” about Catholicism and some Catholics are leery about Fundamentalism.
When Catholicism and Fundamentalism are combined with Catholic Fundamentalism’s concept that God can program particles that He compiled them into systems and beings downloaded in The Creation Program. He did all that to give people free will. Suddenly, Catholicism and Fundamentalism, stiffened with the third leg of the tripod, understanding God as programmer and downloader of vast systems of energy and matter, Catholic Fundamentalism provide a sense of what’s happened, is happening, and will happen. The concept becomes so uncontradictable and encompassing that Catholic Fundamentalism’s validity only increases with study and belief.
We may begin by thinking of God as “The Unprogrammed Programmer” with the power to program particles and compile them into systems and beings. Each of one of us is one of His beloved human programs. Our programs run among all the other programs in the huge Creation Program.
Exploring that concept gives us a new point of view from which we can see validity in both Catholicism and Fundamentalism and all the validity there is when both are combined into Catholic Fundamentalism.
