“”Exactly. If they are going to heaven no matter what, it matters not what they do or don’t do; nor does it matter why.””

Reformed theology is about de-emphasizing sin and saying God created me this way and planned it all ,sin and everything for His glory.

What troubles me the most is the lack of humility in all of this. It's as if sin does not matter since Christ has already suffered for them.

No wonder their crosses are empty of Christ's body.

Catholic Theology emphasizes sin through confession and penance,our Crosses have the suffering Christ on them to remind us of the pain He endured for our sin,even the Immaculate Conception of the sinless Blessed Mother emphasizes the sin in our lives.

There is no personal responsibility. It is the pinnacle of theology for those who do not wish to be held responsible for anything. Nothing that they do matters, therefore, there is no matter for anything that they do.
