Thanks for your thoughtful post. I must confess I was wrong to characterize it as “Calvinist” as I did not realize it was from a catholic website, and I was knee-jerk calling it calvinist because it seemed to me to be supporting predestination (even if in a very subtle way).
No problem! Catholics, especially in the Global North have some weird protestant-like takes that go against doctrine, so it’s understandable some protestant work ethic may slip in, even in catechism.
(in my experience) Global South Catholics vary a lot based on their class character, which is why I support liberation theology as a basis for social movement so much.
