***Calvinism has led to the loss of souls that would have made it to heaven were it not for him taking them from the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.***

You really mean this? No non-Catholic makes it to heaven?

You know I would never say this. Fr. Feeney was excommunicated for saying this.

I'm saying any believer has a better chance of final perseverance and eternal salvation in Christ's Church than a Church where only part of the Gospel is preached, admixed to varying degrees with grave error.

Yes. That part I sincerely believe. Calvin was not a saint. He did not return Christianity to any better understanding of scripture.

He reintroduced paganistic fatalism to the True Religion that had banished paganistic fatalism at the foot of the cross.

It becomes very difficult to make it to heaven if you reject the means of salvation - the Sacramental oaths - that Christ has given us to incorporate us into the New Covenant:

John 6:54 "dixit ergo eis Jesus amen amen dico vobis nisi manducaveritis carnem Filii hominis et biberitis ejus sanguinem non habetis vitam in vobis"
