I believe many Calvinists, including the late R.J. Rushdoony and Cornelius van Til, disapproved of the idea of "natural law" - holding, in accordance with their Calvinist principles, that nature is in a state of total depravity and that only positive supernatural law could be adduced to justify Christian morality.

I believe you are right, wideawake. I did want to get their take on this letter though. I will be doing a "roundtable" radio show for Ave Maria Radio in two weeks with Fr. Thomas Hoar, Fr. John Harvey, Fr. Benedict Groeschel, and Mark Gordon on this very writing. Need some info and ammo.

Need info on Natural Law and Pantheism, go no further than the many Papal Encyclicals from the 1800's when this crap and Marxism became popular in Europe. And we wonder why tree hugging and saving turtle eggs (where the US Govt. and the state of FL have them protected) are more important than human life in utero. Here is one of the encyclicals which addresses natural law and when finished you can also look up the info listed in the references.
