[Martin Tell]

Good post. And the author correctly states Catholic and Orthodox position on the descent to hades - it was a triumphant smashing of the gates of hades. Christ trampled down death by death and bestowed life on those in the tombs.

The Resurrection icon shows Our Lord pulling Adam and Eve up from the grave.

Christ is our rescuer, our hero, our King! He is not Calvin's imagined whipping boy.

No question not everything Calvin said was infallible. He just did such a great job dismantling that bodacious monstrosity of demonic Catholic error, that one has to give him a big “Thank you for exposing the cult of Rome”.

When the RCC (or whatever this disfunctional prison wishes itself to be called now), gets that lumber pile of logs out of its cyclopic eye, then give us a call about the subtleties of Christ’s proptiatory work.
