[MENTION=22833]Legion[/MENTION], you’re correct, and this is where discernment figures into the equation with regards to context and nuance. Christ demonstrated what’s called “Righteous anger.†Anger, afterall is a God-given emotion. It’s more about ‘where’ the anger originates, I believe, whether it be malicious or not.
He mostly called them hypocrites, but He used a lot of coded language in His parables with regards to them. “Thieves,†“robbers,†etc.
“Fools†is usually designated for unbelievers or atheists, and you see this mostly in the Wisdom texts and St Paul’s epistles. I don’t recall Christ calling anyone a fool, but I’ve been wrong many times before.
