The image is a chaotic, cartoonish “TULIP Roast Session” poster that lays the theological smackdown in full fire-and-brimstone style:
Title & Fire: “TULIP Roast Session” at the top in flaming letters sets the tone—this isn’t gentle dialogue, it’s a fiery Calvinist comedy roast of Roman Catholicism.
Left Side – The Catholic Side:
A smug, over-the-top pope holds a scroll labeled “Indulgence $$$ Pay to Play” and sits next to a bag of coins marked “Scandal $”.
Labels like “Papal Infallibility” point to him, exaggerating the Catholic claim of ultimate authority.
This caricature represents the corruption and excess that TULIP critiques: indulgences as pay-to-pray scams, inflated clerical ego, and moral failures in the clergy.
Center – The Five Points of TULIP:
Total Depravity: “Sinner Supreme” – humans are spiritually dead without God.
Unconditional Election: “No Merit Badges” – God’s salvation isn’t based on your works.
Limited Atonement: “Not for Sale” – Jesus died for the elect, not for indulgence rackets.
Irresistible Grace: “Spirit Crashes Your Party” – Holy Spirit saves you despite your resistance.
Perseverance of the Saints: “No Bailouts” – true believers endure; no Vatican escape hatch needed.
Each doctrine is written on parchment-like banners, contrasting the fiery corruption of the Catholic side.
Right Side – The Calvinist Preacher:
A furious, dynamic figure points aggressively toward the pope, holding a Bible.
Flames surround him, showing righteous anger and urgency—Christ’s blood alone saves, no rosaries required.
A sign nearby reads “Campfire Worship” poking fun at Marian veneration as idolatrous.
Bottom – The Final Blast:
Text: “Ditch the Vatican Circus! Christ’s Blood Alone Saves! No Rosaries Required!”
Below that: “Flee the Scarlet Whore of Revelation!” with hellish imagery, reinforcing the apocalyptic warning against the corrupt Roman system.
Overall Composition:
The visual is split: corrupt, golden Vatican wealth vs. fiery, righteous Calvinist preaching.
Everything is exaggerated and cartoonish for comedic and shocking effect—rituals and authority mocked, salvation emphasized as free and unearned.
Essentially, the image is a visual mic-drop of TULIP theology: it juxtaposes human sinfulness, God’s sovereign election, and Christ’s saving blood against the pomp, corruption, and ego of the papacy.
