Does anyone have any good links to debates or transcripts of debates between Protestant and Catholic theologians? I am especially interested in any that address Reformed/Calvinist doctrine from the Protestant perspective.

For those who are unfamiliar with Calvinist doctrine (ie., that proposed by reformer John Calvin), it basically consists of five main points, abbreviated TULIP: Total depravity Unconditional election Limited atonement Infinite sovereignty of God Perseverance of the saints

Other key words are "eternal security", "once saved, always saved", predestination, election, chosen.

Thanks in advance for your help in my study of Catholicism! God bless,

Emily, look online for stuff by Scott Hahn. He often debates with Protestant leaders, I think, though I don't know about Calvinists in particular.

Also, Envoy magazine is a good source for apologetics info.

not to be outdone, i recommend reading, or listening to the taped works of the great apologist Tim Staples. him and mr. hahn are BOTH great workers for the church and GREAT examples to learn from.
