I have tried to analyze an opinions of groups individually and creating more general view for the structure of extremist and radical organizations, as well, using some elements of catholic faith during their lectures. Next to this view I am trying to distinguish two main styles in Christianity and extremism - political (those groups has especially political ambitions) and radical-catholic (organizations aiming for "purity" of a society in a way of traditional church values, but using elements of anti-system during their work).
