Bible Note: Doc Thanks for posting these Trentian "anathemas". I was struck by how much sense they make against Calvin's theology, which I find harsh (dungpiles and filthy rags) and at variance with our Father's character as revealed in both testaments. (Did Calvin ever read 2Ki 20:1-6)? I say Father because a Judge--though He is also a Judge--loves His prodigal son far more than any judge can. And like the prodigal, when we turn back we come to our Father's house, to our Holy Family, not simply to a courtroom. To have "anathematized the gospels", if I understand your formulation, means that the RCC essentially disagreed with Calvin's--and your--NT perspective. Whoa. Now I don't know whether the RCC condemned Calvin or any other Reformer to hell for having instructed others in the "lost doctrines"(?) of the universal church, but I do think the RCC were within their rights to condemn his theology as they saw fit and to fling whatever arrows they had in his direction. The Reformers had equal right to shoot back. And shoot back they did. |
