"...now I guess Catholics will call me antiCatholic (also not true)."

Are you aware of the difference between the Roman Catholic Church, and the catholic church?

ALL regenerate Christians are saints and as such are members of the universal (catholic) church.

You can count me as anti-Romish doctrine. This is why:

"Romanism especially does not thrive in a republic, but there Calvinism finds itself most at home. An aristocratic form of church government tends toward monarchy in civil affairs, while a republican form of church government tends toward democracy in civil affairs. Says McFetridge, "Arminianism is unfavorable to civil liberty, and Calvinism is unfavorable to despotism. The despotic rulers of former days were not slow to observe the correctness of these propositions, and, claiming the divine right of kings, feared Calvinism as republicanism itself."

The doctrine of the "divine right of kings" is a Protestant invention. To be specific, it was invented by the Protestant English king James I (he of KJV fame). It was unknown in pre-Reformation Catholic Europe.

Perhaps James I wasn't a Calvinist, but he wasn't a Catholic, either. If you'd like to demonstrate that the idea of the "divine right of kings" is contrary to Calvinism, be my guest, but don't stick us with the blame for it.
