At the end of the hour, a caller from Hillary’s adopted area of Westchester, New York worried strangely that Thomas had returned to a " a fundamentalist, Calvinistic form of Roman Catholicism." (Calvinism and Catholicism are rarely confused as synonymous.)

Unless you look at the writings of Augustine

LOL! Then use the term “Augustinian” or “pro-Calvinist.”

“Proto-Calvinist,” not “pro-Calvinist.”

I’ve never heard of any type of Catholicism being called Calvinistic. And the caller surely wouldn’t know Christian theological distinctions from a hole in the ground.

They are saying basically Clarence Thomas is a real “strict” Catholic Christian, and not a modern-rainbow-sash Church attendee or pseudo-Christian of Hillary-type.

Yes, I can see how that real grounded faith would be scary to Hillary boot-lickers.
