Indifference
1. Founded on the main principle that all religions (that accept these principles) are true and good and lead to salvation.
2. The ethical system of this religion is complicated, as it is based upon the democratic conclusions of the various sects of this religion and is therefore subject to change over time.
3, The doctrines of this religion vary from sect to sect and are considered secondary to the unifying ethical system, which is held in common with all indifferent religions and evolves with the changing needs of society.
4. Indifference works from a Modernist base, which separates religion from the rest of life, political, scientific, philosophical, historical, etc. Therefore what is held as true in the area of religion by an individual may be denied in other areas of that same person's life.
5. Since all religions are declared as good, all have a right to exist and must be recognized as good and leading towards fulfillment and happiness. Also difference among people and their judgments must be tolerated with few exceptions.
Catholicism
1. Founded by our Lord Jesus Christ as the only means of salvation.
2. If you love Me, keep My commandments. (John 14:15)
I desire not he death of a sinner, but that he be converted and live. (Ezechial 33:11)
3. The doctrines of Catholicism are set out in Sacred Scripture and Tradition and held unchangable over time and professed especially in the Profession of Faith.
4. Faith and reason cannot contradict each other, since God is the Author of Faith, science, philosophy, the State (therefore politics), history, etc. Therefore the Church has the right to judge in any matter that touches on Faith, no matter what area it comes from.
5. Since only Catholicism is the true religion of God, Catholicism seeks to bring all people to a knowledge and acceptance of the truth by peaceful means. (I Timothy 2:4) A forced conversion is no conversion.
Radicalism
1. Proclaims itself as the only means of salvation under its human guide.
2. The various radical religions preach that their system is the only true system and all other systems must be elminiated by conversion or death of the infidels.
3. Radicalism also has a fixed set of doctrines in each of its sects, which is incompatible with any other religion, and is declared as the truth by the leader of the radical sect and not to be questioned.
4. Radicalism holds all areas of life in subservience to its religious tenets.
5. Radicalism as a self proclaimed truth is the only religion that has a right to exist and infidels must be destroyed and killed, if they refuse to convert.
