Karma, Brahminism and Maya arose from the Reformation? Who knew?

Before the Reformation, nobody thought to apply them to Christianity. You may thank Luther, Zwingli and Calvin for the mindset that led to that. And to the mindset that led to Latter Day Saints, Jehovah's Witnesses, Pentecostals, Branch Davidians, Unitarians, Quakers, Shakers, and all the rest of the fakers.

It's something akin to recrudescence.

Finally, the concept of Total depravity, compare that to maya in the Hindu system.

Maybe Theater of the Absurd would be a more apt metaphor:

A form of drama that emphasizes the absurdity of human existence by employing disjointed, repetitious, and meaningless dialogue, purposeless and confusing situations, and plots that lack realistic or logical development.

Human Depravity by R.C. Sproul

As far as I can tell, legitimate Roman Catholic scholarship and/or official sources do not stoop to making such outlandish, absurd, idiotic and quite frankly, slanderous misrepresentations as you have made. Maybe you can disillusion me. <rim shot>
