Calvinism (predestination) has officially defeated Social Justice in the US. When Catholics like Paul Ryan can embrace Ayn Rand, left-wing Catholics have officially lost. The heresy that Ryan spews makes me long for a modern day Inquisition. The anti-poor Catholics are legion now and it is sickening. Catholics aligned with Calvinists on the abortion issue and allowed right-wingers to destroy every other platform of social good.

Interesting, lapsed Catholics and lapsed mainline Protestants are keeping the Gospel messsge alive. Love trumps hate.
