Not really. Let's take this case -- Karma and utter predestination, zero free will. Note the similarities

Next take the case of the Brahmins as the elite elect and compare that to Calvinism's "elect"

Finally, the concept of Total depravity, compare that to maya in the Hindu system.

Maybe Theater of the Absurd would be a more apt metaphor:

A form of drama that emphasizes the absurdity of human existence by employing disjointed, repetitious, and meaningless dialogue, purposeless and confusing situations, and plots that lack realistic or logical development.
Compare:

to

Human Depravity by R.C. Sproul

As far as I can tell, legitimate Roman Catholic scholarship and/or official sources do not stoop to making such outlandish, absurd, idiotic and quite frankly, slanderous misrepresentations as you have made. Maybe you can disillusion me. <rim shot>

Cordially,
