Know Thyself

Can a fundamentalist accuse others of being fundamentalists? Pope Benedict is certainly correct about the existence of Christianophobia, but the fundamentalism that he should be objecting to is not that of Islam but of the Catholic church. His own fundamentalist views on social questions such as abortion and gay marriage are part of the root causes of the secularism that so worries him. "Know yourself" or "see yourself as others see you" would be excellent advice for the Pope.
