Calvin worked in Geneva to outlaw all idolatrous veneration of Mary.

While Luther and Calvin may have believed Mary did not have any more children in addition to Jesus, they did NOT believe the errors the papacy teaches -- they did not believe in Mary's immaculate conception; they did not believe Mary was born and died sinless; they did not believe Mary was assumed bodily into heaven; they did not believe prayers should be offered to Mary; they did not believe Mary was a mediator between God and men; and they did not believe Mary was a "Co-Redeemer" or a 'Dispensatrix of all Grace."

And they sure didn't believe Mary was on the cross with Jesus Christ, helping her son to redeem His flock, as displayed on this cross at the main Mary basilica in Rome....
