In his book Ecclesiastical Megalomania: the Economic and Political Thought of the Roman Catholic Church, John Robbins argued that the Thomistic principle of the universal destination of all goods is so important in Catholic thought that all rights are subject to it. (Robbins, 1999)
This principle, the universal destination of all goods, is the idea that when God created the world, he gave it to man collectively. Robbins calls the universal destination of goods “original communism.”
One of the implications of the doctrine of the universal destination of all goods is that property rights are not absolute but can be overridden by other concerns. In Rome’s social teaching, need is the ultimate factor in determining rightful ownership. John Robbins explains it this way, according to Rome, “Whoever needs property ought to possess it. Need makes another’s goods one’s own. Need is the ultimate and only moral title to property.” (Robbins, 1999)
The Roman Church-State is fine with private property up to a point, but when things get serious, need is all that matters. If your neighbor needs something, and you have a surplus of what he needs, he can take it, and it’s neither a sin nor a crime for him to do so.
Robbins quotes Pope Paul VI writing in his encyclical On the Progress of Peoples:
…each man has therefore the right to find in the world what is necessary for himself. The recent Council [Vatican II] reminded us of this: “God intended the earth and all that it contains for the use of every human being and people. Thus, as all men follow justice and unite in charity, created goods should abound for them on a reasonable basis.” All other rights whatsoever, including those of property and of free commerce, are to be subordinated to this principle. (Robbins, 1999)

The history of Calvinism and Catholicism are the same history of violence and hatred in the name of Thomist Augustinian FILIOQUE heresy. Calvinism is just a privatistic individualist twist on common good Thomism. It transfers the wealth from the Catholic Church State to a Calvinist Oligarchy State that ignore the rights of non-Calvinists. And imposes Calvinism on other Christians. It has no basis for Bible correct interpretation and Christian unity. It follows FILIOQUE of Marius Victorinus through Augustine and CHARLEMAGNE in violation of SCRIPTURE DEUTERONOMY 4:2 PROVERBS 30:6 JOHN 15:26.
I disagree on all points. Calvinism and Catholicism are completely separate systems. Calvinism is about Scripture Alone as our source of knowledge and reliance on Faith in Christ Alone for our justification. May all glory be to God Alone as we celebrate Reformation Day 2022.
Calvinism is NOT about Scripture alone. Calvinism IGNORE what Scripture says AGAINST Sola Scripture, John 20, John 21, 2 Thessalonians 2:15 2 Thessalonians 3:6 1 Corinthians 11:2 Jude 1:3 1 Timothy 3:15. Calvinism is based upon Calvin’s book, “Institutes of the Christian Religion”, not upon the New Testament. Calvinism rejects Scripture: 2 Peter 3:9 and 1 Timothy 2:4 and John 3:16.
