1 By “affirms,” I mean the overall message of redemption rather than all the details, like the exact dimension of Noah’s Ark or the actual numbers of hours it took God to create the world, which the more diehard fundamentalists take literally, as did my parents in the early days of their ministry.
2 Actually (as best as I remember), on that Diaphragm Vacation Susan was already away from home studying in England. But I’ve combined the memory of that year’s vacation with previous ones when we were all together. Everything is as I remember it, only spread over several summers: The big “Catholic family” was next to us one summer, and the diaphragm revelation happened another year when only Debby was with Mom, Dad, and me.

The average amount of time they watch porn on the internet is 90 minutes a week.”

19 Natural law refers to the use of reason to analyze morality. Some Church Fathers in the Wes
t incorporated natural law theory into Christian theology. Recently, conservative Roman Catholic intellectuals have used natural law to support their theological Far Right ideas. Here is a good definition by Elizabeth Anscombe, one of the leading Roman Catholic intellectuals of the twentieth century: “Any type of wrong action is ‘against the natural law’: stealing is, framing someone is, oppressing people is. ‘Natural law’ is simply a way of speaking about the whole of morality, used by Catholic thinkers because they believe the general precepts of morality are laws promulgated by God our Creator in the enlightened human understanding when it is thinking in general terms about what are good and what are bad actions. That is to say, the discoveries of reflection and reasoning when we think straight about these things are God’s legislation to us (whether we realize this or not).” G. E. M. Anscombe, “Contraception and Chastity” (London: Catholic Truth Society, 1975).

25 Calvinism (also called the Reformed tradition, the Reformed faith, or Reformed theology) is a theological system. This branch of Christianity is named for French reformer John Calvin. According to Calvin, God is able to save every person upon whom He has mercy and His efforts are not frustrated by the unrighteousness or the inability of humans. The system is based on Five Points: total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints. The doctrine of total depravity says that, as a consequence of the fall of humanity into sin, every person born into the world is enslaved to the service of sin. The doctrine of unconditional election maintains that God chose from eternity those whom He will bring to Himself. The doctrine of limited atonement asserts that Jesus’ substitutionary atonement was definite and certain in its design and accomplishment. This implies that only the sins of the elect were atoned for by Jesus’ death. The doctrine of irresistible grace says that the saving grace of God is effectually applied to those whom He has determined to save (that is, the elect) and, in God’s timing, overcomes their resistance to obeying the call of the gospel. The doctrine of perseverance (or preservation) of the saints asserts that since God is sovereign, His will cannot be frustrated by humans or anything else.
