I. Introductory Provisions
 
  1.2 Concepts  
  Article 17-Fanatic  
  Canon 2033  
  A Fanatic is any person in a mental state of obsessive uncritical zeal or romantic delusion who has been poorly educated and accepted into a particular Religion or Cult in accordance with its beliefs while temporarily losing their faculties of reason, logic and competence. Hence, a Fanatic is by definition a zealous or obsessive Cretin.  
  Canon 2034  
  By deliberate planning, Cults develop amongst its general followers, who are by definition called Cretins, at least some Cretins who are Fanatics.  
  Canon 2035  
  Not all Cretins who fall further into the control of a Cult to become Fanatics are prone to Violence. However, almost all extreme religious violence requires the careful manipulation of people to become Cretins and then Fanatics.  
  Canon 2036  
  The strength of Fanatics to a Cult is that no amount of knowledge, or reasoning can return the mind of a Fanatic to the use of logic and common sense in the short term. Thus, once a Cult has installed a Fanatical mind in a person, it is the ultimate mind control.  
  Canon 2037  
  Religious extremism promoted by Cults such as suicide or murder almost inevitably requires the deliberate cultivation of Cretins, with enough suitably prone to extremist delusion to become Fanatics.  
  Canon 2038  
  Any Cult that promotes wholesale Cretinism and therefore a number of Fanatics is nothing more than a criminal organization and an enemy to all civilizations and other religions.
