Ah, but it's not the only legitimate basis is it? Of course that might be the case for you, but it doesn't necessarily make it so now, does it?
What sound conservative principles am I doing that with?
How about the principle of agency. The principle of being free to enter into contracts, etc. But I suppose the calvinistic view doesn't allow for any of that.
Scripture isn’t the only legitimate basis for something?
Says quite a lot about the Catholic mindset.
What’s Calvinism have to do with it anyway?
