What is the Catholic Church's view on Biblical fundamentalism?

Fundamentalists use the Bible to protect beliefs that are, in fact, antecedent to the Bible, which is interpreted so it justified what they already hold, although most fundamentalists think what they believe comes straight out of the sacred text and that they are merely acknowledging its plain meaning. This confusion on their part is matched by one on the part of most nonfundamentalists, who think fundamentalists interpret Scripture in a strictly literal manner. This is incorrect. Fundamentalists do not take each word of the Bible in its surface sense, although it is commonly thought they do. To justify some of their doctrines, fundamentalists must discover in a metaphor a new "literal" interpretation of Scripture, and they not uncommonly find themselves arguing that what is really the plain, surface meaning is nothing but dangerous symbolism. They do not hesitate to read between the lines if such reading is needed to preserve their position--a position that precedes their scriptural interpretation.

What similarities exist between Islamic fundamentalism and fundamentalist movements in Judaism and Christianity?
The one attribute common to Islamic, Judaic and Christian fundamentalism is the absolute conviction about being right, to the exclusion of all other points of view. This becomes an obsession in which the fundamentalist is no longer able to listen to reason or consider any facts contrary to his or her beliefs. Not all fundamentalists are violent, but some believe that the world must accept their unique point of view and that the only way to achieve this is by force. Fundamentalism is not restricted to Islam, Judaism and Christianity, but is much rarer among other religions.
