Food for thought

"A Calvinist Presbyterian beclieves that all Catholics will be damned because they are predestined to be damned, whereas an ordinary Presbyterian believes that all Catholics will be damned on their merits." --Jon Bartley

Cartoonist Kevin Giovanetto takes on the finer points of Calvin's doctrine of predestination (right).

As a Calvinist I find that cartoon...amusing!

Glad you liked this, Jim. I used to be a Calvinist too, and still find it the most substantially worked-out system of Christian doctrine outside of the Catholic Faith. Like Catholicism, it's a lot of fun to parody Calvinism, of course!

Cheers,
