When I discerned God's will for me to be Catholic, I was very pleasantly surprised when I discovered that the Calvinism I previously embraced was simply warmed over Augustine with a few tweaks...and that there is PLENTY of latitude in Catholic teaching on free will for predestination, foreordination, and God hardening or softening man's heart according to His Sovereign Plan. And...when St. Paul admonished the early Christians to "(pray) For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity....", Nero was in charge. When St. Paul said: "LET every soul be subject to higher powers: for there is no power but from God: and those that are, are ordained of God....", Nero was in charge. 

Do you disagree with the Spirit driven words of St. Paul?
