"Fundamentalism said the president of the Commission for the Message does not understand that the Word of God is filtered by man, by the prophet, to an even surprising extent. One cannot read the text superficially, as though it was the message. The words must be understood". Fundamentalists avoid interpretation "because they are afraid of it, because they believe they may imprison truth. It is the fear to find out that the Word goes beyond words. Here is why it is necessary to know, study and delve into the Bible. Knowledge is a fundamental time in the ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, because it keeps fear away". But it is also fundamental for some sectors, movements and new ecclesial organizations. A certain uninhibited use of the Scripture "is an aspect which exists and, in some countries, it also assumes forms of syncretism, and the Bible is accompanied with other texts, too", said Msgr. Ravasi. "This Synod was meant to confirm the primacy of the Word. However, there are forms of devotion and religious folklore. In any case, the Word of God is the core of Christian assemblies. The Bible remains the most important and crucial source, because it allows us to preserve the Christian identity". ” ” ” ” ” “
