The thread wasn't opened because the phrase "limited atonement" was used. It was opened because the word "Calvinist" was used by the poster of the article.

If anyone else had used the term, I would have given the poster of the article the option of removing the reply post containing the term or opening the thread.

Calvinism is a "confession" under the guidelines because it is a belief. Protestantism is also a confession as is Reformed as is Christianity. Calvinists might appear in any of those caucuses.

There was once a Protestant Caucus thread on Predestination. If someone on that thread spoke against Arminianism (or Arminius?), then the caucus designation is forfeited?

And As I asked HarleyD if annalex had said "Calvin" instead of "Calvinist", then what?

I am surprised by this decision: I made a comment on the wording of a prayer during Catholic Mass and did not characterized Calvinism in any negative way. Where did I attack the Calvinist confession in my remarks? I clarified that the English translation of the prayer was, in my opinion, made to draw a brighter distinction with Calvinism, and I explained the Catholic doctrine of unlimited atonement as I understand it. That is all.

Are we allowed to mention another confession by name in caucus threads? Please clarify.

I will continue treating this thread as a caucus thread and will not participate in the off-topic discussions about Limited Atonement. Anyone wishing to make that a topic can easily start a thread for it. I would like to discuss the first two chapters of Cur Deus Homo in peace. Thank you.
