Reformed folks have a resurgence in Reformed theology that is changing the landscape of Protestant Christianity ... We are the future of American Christianity.

Actually, you aren't -- the fastest growing are the pent-e-costals, the charismatics and the like. Calvinist thought on the other hands is dying out among Protestants.

Actually we are. While Pentacostals are the fastest growing denomination in all of Christiandom (protestant and Catholic), Reformed theology is growing very rapidly among Baptists as well as among constervative presbyterians and other non-denominatoinal churches. It has had a majaor rebirth and is taking off. It is the protestant branches which are Pelagian like the Catholics which are dying out.

Nice quote at the beginning of the second article: “Calvinism was once virtually the American Faith. It came to New England with the Puritans, to New York with the Dutch Reformed, to Pennsylvania with the German Reformed. And wherever Scottish Presbyterians went in the U.S., predestination, 90-minute sermons, and the “Shorter Catechism” went with them.”

If America had been founded by Catholics, America never would have been founded.

Catholicism has never resulted in the liberty of nations or democratic ideals.
