“You know, Calvinism doesn’t define all of Protestant and Evangelical Christianity. It seems that a mistake that Catholics are very prone to make is to work under the assumption that if one is Protestant or Evangelical they are by default Calvinists. That is not the case. I’ve met precious few people in my life who are real pre-destinationist Calvinists.”

You expect us to keep up with the tens of thousands of sects in the anti-Catholic realm?

Get real.

The two main schools of Protestant thought are Calvinism and Arminianism, not *thousands*.

Here are a couple links that briefly summarize the two positions. Most churches I’m aware of fall far more into the Arminian camp. In my experience, Calvinism is in the minority.

Y’all seem to expect us to keep up with the

RCC dogma of the minute out of the tens of thousands of convoluted permutations and options from whatever corners of Roman Catholocism seems to be posting at the moment.

Sheesh!

THAT TERMINAL DOUBLE STANDARD OF THE VATICAN SYSTEM STRIKES AGAIN!
