Cannons of Dort

A friend was asking about this and I had never heard of it before. Did a little research and I still don't understand it. I'm mainly interested in knowing how the Catholic perspective differs (or, I suppose, is the same, but I doubt it).

The Canons of Dort affirmed the conservative Calvinist views on several matters, in opposition to those known as Arminians, after their leader Arminus. The Catholic viewpoint ( as well as the Methodist) is closer to the Arminian position than the Calvinist. It was mostly about grace and redemption.

I would think that the Catholic perspective *would* differ quite a bit since the canons are Protestant (Calvinist) and they seem (at least to me) a tad on the harsh side compared with Catholic teaching.

Such is the Confessional Lutheran take as well.

here is the entire thing
Canons of Dort | Christian Reformed Church

It is a council of the Reformed Churches
so it is Calvinism, and skimming it over it looks like TULIP


Total Depravity
Unconditional Election
Limited Atonement
Irresistible Grace
Preservation of the Saints

Agreed.

I would note that the confessions themselves are strongly anti-Catholic in more than theology (as TULIP is).

It certainly is.
