Lol. Thanks. That proves the Pilgrims' instincts, founded on Scripture and the Geneva Boible were correct and the instructions of their English overlord (much like the pope) were incorrect.
Protestantism = capitalism. Romanism = collectivism.
For evidence, just read either the pope's "global authority" encyclical or this thread written by a Roman Catholic.

The so-called "Protestant work ethic" isn't really Protestant at all, it is AMERICAN. You seem to have a desire to worship Calvin instead of God and that is anti-Christian and flies in the face of everything the colonists came to America for.
