A pitiful task, to convert Calvinists.

LOL! That is why my patron saint is St. Francis de Sales. After my writing on this site, my respect for his abilities continues to shoot up. How he was able to convert so many Calvinists in Switzerland is nothing short of a miracle - consider that these guys believe they are elect to heaven already - based on nothing more than a tortuous circular argument...

Regards

From the Catholic Encyclopedia

After a terrible and prolonged temptation to despair, caused by the discussions of the theologians of the day on the question of predestination, from which he was suddenly freed as he knelt before a miraculous image of Our Lady at St. Etienne-des-Grès, he made a vow of chastity and consecrated himself to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

(But he didn't worship her, lol)
