Actually Catholic and Calvinistic thought is not far apart, Calvin sought to "refound" the Catholic Church on purely apostolic forms, but according to "Protestant" principles. But experience has shown that no unity can be based on those principles. Calvin's successors have abandoned their quest for unity, except in the most general terms, and now glory in "diversity." Give the SBC credit: they really don't accept this state of affairs, which is why the SBC is charged with "intolerance,"and is half mockingly referred to as the "Catholic Church of the South."

And Old School at that! Where we won't share communion with other folks, the SBC won't even pray with non-Christians. Other followers of the God of Abraham, that is.
