• The Revolution loves evil and is in harmony with those who are bad, and thus tries to find evil in everything

• Pius IX: Bringing the Fight to the Enemy It is not surprising that Pius IX so adamantly affirmed Papal Infallibility. Very different from those who succeeded him, he was ever ready to bring the fight to the enemy. He did this in Geneva, Switzerland, which then was the breeding ground of Calvinism, which is the most radical form of Protestantism. When Swiss laws changed to allow a Catholic Cathedral in Geneva, Pius IX ordered that a statue of the Immaculate Conception be placed in the middle of the city, to proclaim this dogma in the place where Calvinists, Lutherans and other Protestants denied it more than anywhere else. This is an example of Pius IX’s leadership in the fight against the Revolution. It is therefore entirely proper that all Catholics entertain a special affection for the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, which is so detested by the enemies of the Church today.

Mod, is this what you meant when describing "inciteful?"

Today I will be a Calvinist in the tradition of Calvin; a Lutheran in the tradition of Luther.

The language does indeed press the envelope - but that is tolerable on an open thread providing it does not tip over into hate mongering. Jack Chick materials, Jesus-is-Lord.com, Christian Identity (KKK, Aryan nations) anti-Semitic websites and the like are hate mongering and are not allowed on this forum.

Today I will be a Calvinist in the tradition of Calvin; a Lutheran in the tradition of Luther.

Amen, xzins!!!

By the grace of God, hold that thought.
