Religious fundamentalism is a modern movement in any religious tradition characterized by the strict, literal interpretation of sacred texts and a rejection of modern secular society. Catholics fit the definition.

Actually, they don't. The fact that the last two popes have been "progressive", and that there're factions inside the church tells another story.

And for example, there's nothing in the bible that forbids women from beinf priests. There's almost nothig in the Bible about the Church, to be honest.

And yet almost all practitioners of any sect claim that it does. St. Augustine vilified women through Eve because he was a sex addict and had to blame women for men's inability to control themselves. A full 500 years after the original Canon was created and it stuck. They all believe it.

Yes, but that is not in the Bible. As I said, catholicism depends on a long tradition of thinkers, not just the Bible. Most of the awful things in catholicism are not mentioned in the bible
