As Augustine said, "In essentials, unity; in non-essentials

And you have very little UNITY with Augustine on the essentials other than the Trinity and Baptism and a few other things.

Negative. Rnmomof7 posted a very eloquent description of polytheism in the three gods of the Reformed beliefs who sat down over drinks on a Sunday afternoon and made a pact as to who would do what in the overall scheme of things. We Catholics were speculating as to the chosen drink of the Reformed gods - I thought that the Reformed God the Father would drink thousand year old Scotch; we know that Jesus drank wine - I'm thinking a very good Bordeaux, and the Reformed Holy Spirit who might drink aged Cognac.

No difference in Reformed theology from the descriptions of the halls of Valhalla with Odin, Thor, et al, eating roasted whole oxen prepared by Andhrimnir and drinking mead. And they wish us to regard them as Christian?

I forgot about that and should remember the many changing ideas of pluralistic calvinism. Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought calvin himself taught the trinity correct?
