I meant evangelicaloutreach. But you need to know how funny I think it is that a Catholic must resort to Arminian websites to try and refute Biblical Calvinism.

LOL!

Welll,..I guess we'll just have to refer to 'The Catholic Encyclopedia - 'Calvinism'

Excerpt:..

'...Even an admirer (of Calvin), J. A. Froude, tells us:
To represent man as sent into the world under a curse, as incurably wicked-wicked by the constitution of his nature and wicked by eternal decree-as doomed, unless exempted by special grace which he cannot merit, or by any effort of his own obtain, to live in sin while he remains on earth, and to be eternally miserable when he leaves it-to represent him as born unable to keep the commandments, yet as justly liable to everlasting punishment for breaking them, is alike repugnant to reason and conscience, and turns existence into a hideous nightmare. (Short Studies, II, 3.)'
