There is nothing malicious about exposing Calvinism.

Then there would be nothing malicious about exposing pedophiles in the Catholic church. Which is more evil, believing in total depravity, or doing it?

Something very obvious to me, having a Catholic mother, and Methodist father, I realize that my mother's immediate family had no divorces, My father's family is a mess. My Catholic husband's faily also has no divorces.


Barna report: Variation in divorce rates among Christian faith groups:

Denomination (in order of decreasing divorce rate) % who have been divorced. Catholics and Lutherans have the lowest divorce rates.

Non-denominational ** 34%

Baptists 29%

Mainline Protestants 25%

Mormons 24%

Catholics 21%

Lutherans 21%


Perhaps there is something to be said for the image of The Blessed Mary who sacrificed everything, and humbly served her God and Family? Catholics are taught that the Blessed Mary is special, apparently some are taught that to even mention her, would make her son jealous. Is that the God you know? Me either. Thank you God for all your gifts. We love you, and have mercy on us. Pray for us, Blessed Mother full of Grace, that we may be more like you.

"There is nothing malicious about exposing Calvinism."

To paraphrase Harry Truman; You're not giving them hell, your are just telling the truth and it feels like hell.
