Free will versus predetermination is still a significant (but waning) issue amongst the non Calvinist and non Calvinist groups as well. Where does Catholicism fall in between this spectrum?

Jesus teaches that God wills all men to be saved and that God reaches out with His Grace to all men. Not all men are saved; many reject Him. Therefore, we believe that men have the ability to reject Christ; in that we believe that men have free will.
