Calvinists have TULIP, Arminians have DAISY and Molinists have ROSES. Is there any general consensus of what the Catholic Church has? Can we here at CAF come up with some floral arrangement? 🙂 But I guess what I am really after is a set of five points of belief from the Catholic perspective (even if there is no nifty acronym!), sitting alongside the other “flowers.” I realize this might be difficult because there are a small handful of differences in Catholic soteriology (Thomism and Molinism, for example).

For quick reference:
DAISY (depravity of all, atonement for all, inclusion of all, salvation is a gift,you can accept or reject). rachelheldevans.com/blog/12-ways-make-arminianism-cool

ROSES:
R Radical Depravity (instead of total depravity).
O Overcoming Grace (instead of irresistible grace).
S Sovereign election (instead of unconditional election).
E Eternal life (instead of perseverance of saints).
S Singular Redemption (instead of limited atonement).

It’s the best I could come up with while avoiding the painfully obvious ROSARY.
Hehe. Don’t shoot.
 
I associate roses with Mary and not with the Molinists.Plenty of flowers and other plants are dedicated to her. Other than roses there are lilies, daisies and lime trees to name a few.
 
We have the “Mystical Rose”…and that’s good enough for me. 🙂
 
We have to go with a longer name:

Peter (or Papacy)
Episcopacy
Tradition
Universality
Nicene Creed
Iesus (had to have one Latin word)
Apostolic
 
All right, here is LILAC:

Lifetime Sacramental Graces- God gives graces through sacraments
Inability (to save one’s self)- we cannot save ourselves
Loving Atonement- Jesus died for everyone
Apostasy Possible- we can fall away on our own
Conditional Election- God chose the elect from His foreknowledge
-OR-
Chosen Antemeritoriously- God chose the elect before His foreknowledge
 
James Akin proposed what he called the Thomistic version of the TULIP:

T=total inability (to please God without special grace)
U=unconditional election
L=limited intent (for the atonement’s efficacy)
I=intrinsically efficacious grace (for salvation)
P=perseverance of the elect (until the end of life)
