As a “predestined Calvinist,” I’ve never called a Catholic a drunk. Furthermore, as a “predestined Calvinist,” I would count it a good day to only be accused of rejecting the Bible, worshiping a mere human, and being a drunk. As horrid as those things are, there are even worse things that can and often have been said against those who hold the grace of God in high regard.

But I seem to remember something Paul said about how love doesn’t even remember the evils done against it. A beneficial amnesia, which would greatly enhance the quality of these discussions if more commonly practiced.

Very well said. Thank you.
