The Hebrews and their Jewish descendants had Moses' law: the ten commandments. Our Lord incarnated to die for our sins, to establish the Church and the new law for everyone, that is, the perfected law of God that supersedes the ten commandments. That law is: love God, love your neighbor.
An "extremist" of said philosophy of life is a saint. That's a good thing to be.
The left changed the definition of -phobes and -ists, if you do not celebrate gay people and gay lifestyles then you are a homophobe now. Love the sinner but hate the sin is already considered phobic.
The person that follows Christ and the teachings of the Bible is going to be a very good and loving person but that is not enough for the left.
On the 10 commandments I think you are wrong, I vaguely remember in several places Christ saying He has not come to replace the old law and He says to a guy that if he follows the 10 commandments then he is a good person. There was also a part about being upset on the Jews that they turned societal practices in to religious law and that is the reason we do not follow a lot of Jewish practices, but is all very vague as I'm not well versed in the Bible.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

I am not wrong. Jesus doesn't "replace" the ten commandments: he supersedes them. If you love God and your neighbor, you will by default obey the ten commandments, and more. Regarding the guy who followed the ten commandments, are you talking about the man who left sad after being told "sell all you own, give it to the poor and follow me"? Here's the ever excellent Fulton Sheen explaining the point I was making and mentioning the case you brought up. I assure you it's a great listen:
They are just another interested party among the professional class who use their power and influence against people and organizations they don't like.
Well stated, especially the part recognizing the existence of the “professional class.” That’s just about all we have in this country’s power struggles, and it sort of belies the left’s rhetoric about how marginalized and powerless they are - powerless groups don’t have best-selling books, mansions purchased with donated money, $20,000 speaking fees, representatives in newly created departments at every college and corporation, etc. etc. I’d even posit that to a very real extent, the professional class as a whole has an agenda (“keep the plebs angry at each other while we grab everything that isn’t bolted down”) that is ultimately quite unified among the supposedly disparate members of the professional class, no matter how angrily they seem to be tweeting at each other or no matter how charged the rhetoric is that they use in interviews they give to access journalists.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is just a front for communist activists with law degrees to publish propaganda against the Right.
For people who want a refresh of Catholic axioms:

Matthew 5:17
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
While it could be argued that this statement can be derived from "love your enemy" it's actually a Gandhi quote.

I have only been going to Latin Mass for the past year. Neat. Yet another thing that federal agents will eventually show up to my door for
Update: I've been informed the FBI retracted their Catholic extremism memo.
Have you seen the LGBTQABCDEFG pope?
