IME this is code for "you're about to hear that Catholics are all cryptopagans, also I don't know what an Orthodox Christian is but if I did they'd be a cryptopagan too."
Oh man some of these guys think Lutherans and Presbyterians are cryptopagans.
"Why can't they just call themselves Christians?"
More "Arminianism isn't nearly depressing enough a theology for us we need full Hypercalvinism to justify our prosperity gospel."
(I think maybe my recent posts are a bit hard on moderate Reformed (ie, Cavinist) Churches who despite my disagreements have often lead left wing movements. But much like Tradcaths these fuckers aren't helping.)
what the fuck is a cryptopagan
When I was a kid, my non-denominational (and/or evangelical, depending on the week) mother used to tell me that really Catholics were pagans because they prayed to saints, which is polytheism.
