I am sorry, I think your question is ill formulated.

Most moderate is opposed to most militant.

Most fundamentalist is opposed to most liberal.

You are taking two different parameters as if they were one, and you are taking one pole of the fake one from each of the real two.

In a certain way Atheism:

• it claims not to be a religion but is (ok, the answer to one single question involves other kinds of Atheism than what we normally call Atheism)
• its adherents have killed more people last century than Christians and Muslims together last millennium, but claims to be peaceful and that it is Christians or Muslims or both who are the real violent killers.
• Its adherents often claim to be thinking for themselves, but when asking Christians “think for yourself” usually mean “think like we do”. Which incidentally often comes from teachers claiming to be teaching them to “think for themselves”.

Same as for other Catholics.

As to less core, they have been having trouble with extremely anti-Catholic Evangelicals, and consequently seem a bit more allergic to Evangelicals than some other Catholics.

The Virgin of Guadalupe is a devotion, not per se a “belief”.

I think Pope Michael is a big fan of his religion, how Bergoglio(*) relates to a religion he is not believing is another matter.

I hope you were meaning Catholic Christianity?

If you meant Evangelical heresies, well, Bergoglio is more fond of the Protestant component of its makeup, Pope Michael more of the Fundie part of it - to which Bergoglio is allergic.

(*) Known to the millions who erroneously accept him as Pope as “Pope Francis”.

Why do some religions use idols and other religious paraphernalia in their worship, when the Bible clearly condemns the use of idols.

Buddhists are not into the Bible.

Catholics do not agree that statues and icons or for that matter relics constitute idolatry, since not directed to worship of false gods.

In the worship of the true God, Hebrews used some images too, like the two seraphs over the Ark.

C on Q

I mean the 4 most influential/important figures of the 20th century & the 4 most influential/important figures of the 21st century respectively.

Also, you can include many Mounts Rushmores (for science, soccer, philosophy, entrepreneurship, politics, criminals, art, music, etc…)

C on Q

I know this sounds weird, but I am 100% sure that my cat is possessed. She stiffens, opens her eyes wide, and speaks “obi obi obi” or “no no no”, in a weird and satanic voice. How do I drive the devil out of her? Does the usual chant (Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus) even work on cats?

Converted to Roman Catholic Church, Novus Ordo version, then to Trad.

Go to a Catholic priest, and ask him to perform any exorcism which might be necessary.

Depends where in the world!

I prefer Muslims of Malawi to Muslims like Boko Haram in Mali, for instance.

I prefer Turks and Persians over most Somalians.

Answered 5h ago

OK … I happen to be a Christian and to think the Crusades were, as such, legitimate.

That said, crimes happened.

Especially through the fact that some Crusader armies were basically what would these days be called “roused rabble” by media and were not trained, meaning they had little discipline of the military kind.

In other words, in some cases the Crusader armies acted like lynch mobs.

I think the most notorious ones are:

• the massacre on inhabitants of Jerusalem, which Geoffrey of Boullion tried to stop, but which seems to have gone on for three days, from 15th to 17th July 1099, sources differ on numbers (French wiki says 10 000 acc to Christians, 50 000 according to Muslims);
• the taking of Montségur in 1244 (200 Cathars were burned, but that could have been a legal execution, too);
• taking of Constantinople (after they had shilly shallied about being allies or not to IV Crusade which was meant to go to Holy Land), the losses are more given as monetary values of the sacking than as how many died, so presumably not very many.

In exactly what prolonged war do you find no war crimes at all?

As you specified “peasant”, I would say:

• how few farmers or peasants there are
• how many people they must feed, each of them
• how the tractors and such have made the work physically less taxing, but more lonely and more fatiguing and stressful (I imagine).

Each peasant then was one of 90%, each farmer now one of 10%, so each peasant then was responsible (counting family as one with head in all cases and classes) for 1 peasant, himself, and for 1/9 non-peasants. While now, he is responsible for one farmer, himself, and for 9 non-farmers.

This meant the peasants were each responsible for far less land and lived closer to each other.

And if they were serfs, the landlord (manorial, not feudal, in relation to them, though he might be feudal vassal or lord in relation to other landlords!) took care of commerce, now often each peasant is for himself up against companies (some of which started as peasant unions) and regulations (voted by peoples where peasants are no more majority) which have driven some French milk farmers to suicide.

Plus, next, why Brussells is meddling with farmers all over Europe, and why produce is so much transported even if not luxuries like wine or seafood which needs transport when consumed inland.
