Riverdaleboy: In my mind I associate Calvin with Holland. No idea why. Google says he was from Switzerland. Honestly have never bothered to keep up with the many protestant factions and their differences.

Jack Posobiec is a very influential MAGA media figure. He posted this today. In the 1930s Fr. Denis Fahey was probably most well know for being one of the most outspoken anti-semites in the world...quite an accomplishment for that era.

What the hell does that even mean

It means that the "real danger" to liberty is "one world communism promoted by the (((globalists)))" while theocracy is actually its friend.

Communism with many religions tho?

It's a dig on religious pluralism, which they saw as a liberal trojan horse for communism.

Was just going thru some of my family’s religious media this past weekend, and the bogeyman remains the same. (2nd pic is the cover)

Protestants?

Yeah, the White Horse Inn is a pan-conservative Reformed group (conservative Presbyterians and Lutherans), but my folks are in the real deep end of Calvinism

Lest folks think this stuff is new, my parents’ denomination spent over a century refusing to vote, serve in office, or take an oath because the US Constitution doesn’t say that Christ is King.

Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org

My family was Orthodox. They viewed protestants like jazz musicians.

I tell people that the ultra-Calvinists are like the Star Trek fans who speak fluent Klingon and also admire Klingon cultural values like ruthlessness

It's there a geographic locus to it?

There’s a big Dutch Reform population in like Grand Rapids MI, IIRC.

No real reason to follow the distinctions, but I’ll offer that the historical context of Luther vs Calvin had big impacts on the theologies— Lutherans with a decidedly non-revolutionary/quietistic nature (had to please a prince/king/state head) whereas Calvin got full theocracy in a city-state.

I saw "theocratic Geneva" and just assumed it had some meaning other than the literal. Lol

There is something so Dutch about Calvinism, yes.
