I wouldn't ordinarily reply to posts of this sort but....

1. The Jesuits have a man on our faculty? Well, on that reasoning then so do the pagans, the latitudinarians, the evangelicals, and other groups since our faculty members have taken PhDs from institutions from a variety of backgrounds.

2. "Dr" Morey was quite anxious to have a teaching post at WSC a few years ago. When I was academic dean he contacted me several times about a teaching position. Apparently he wasn't opposed to teaching on faculty that had a graduate from Catholic University of America (Mark Futato) back then. Good thing we didn't hire him so that he isn't tainted by graduates of papist universities.

3. This wouldn't happen to have anything to do with the fact that he now has his own school would it?

4. "Dr" Morey should know that CVT taught the existence of natural law and that it was universally taught in the 16th and 17th centuries.

5. Not all versions of "natural law" are the same. There are distinct differences between the version of natural law taught by Calvin, Reformed orthodoxy, and CVT, and the version taught by Thomas and Rome. The Protestants (Luther, Bucer, Melanchthon, and Calvin) all identified the decalogue with "natural law" and that was at the foundation of their doctrine of the covenant of works or the "covenant of nature."

6. Denial of natural law is a Barthian distinctive. If teaching "natural law" makes one a Jesuit then denying it makes one a Barthian.

7. You can see a bit about Calvin's doctrine of natural law here.

8. See more links on the HB
