There may arise some difficulties mainly when the Catholic practices contradict with the teachings. An illustration is drawn when the Catholic sited that the human race did not evolve from one set of parents because the Bible story about Eve and Adam was just a myth. The declaration, that they have no problem with practices such as remarriages, modern contraception methods and gay's relationship, has caught the attention of majority as this is opposed to the teachings of church. This has led to some people opting for help from Catholic fundamentalism.
The term fundamentalism has been used for various meaning concerning the church. It is based on the idea of a false dichotomy that is divided between the truth and hate. It has also been connected to inflexible literalism that results to wrenching of writing right from its context of the passage that is in the holy bible scriptures and also the accepted customs and practices.
On the other hand, it refers to those individuals who would refer or quote conciliar documents, catechism of the catholic and the papal encyclicals in form of literal sense to prove the credibility of teachings and practices; this is a whole different matter.
Holy Scriptures are written a symbolic language and offered in various forms. Although it contains truth, and also the primary source of theology, it is not the core book for accurate theological definitions. Therefore church defines the change that occurs or takes place through the words of consecration, namely, the substances that are used for bread and wine are converted into blood and body, divinity and soul of Christ, this term was intended to be understood literally. There are contradictions with the meaning of transubstantiation for just teaching that Christ is present as a sign is an error.
In its various teachings, church is still trying to widen its base so as to emphasize its teachings and morals related to its doctrine with a high level of precision. The language used for its pronouncements is well selected so that the original meaning is not lost. The reason behind this is for church to have the teachings demand be literally viewed and accepted.
On the other hand, it is related issue of using political terms such as liberal and conservative towards the ideology of church. Its once occurred in New Orleans during a theological lecture. The lecture ridiculed Christian leaving in North Shore by terming them as Ultra-conservative. This term caught the attention of the Pope John two who later condemned using it in relation to the church.
The primary concern of using these political terms to the church is that it degrades the concept of the truth that is attached to church. This creates more doubt on the credibility of church matters. It hence ends up to people starting to express their opinion that are subjective in nature. Eventually both church and people will have their versions of the truth and in the end there will be no viable reality. The political terms also tend to undermine morally and teachings.
Catholics are bound to follow and ascent to all doctrine and moral pronouncement of the pope, and this does not matter whether he is speaking with his ordinary teaching authority or his extraordinary charisma. He is still teaching through the special divine assistance and as an vicar of the ambassador of Christ here on earth.
