I just returned from noon Latin mass where we celebrated St. Francis de Sales’ feast day. One of may favorites!
St. Francis de Sales ora pro nobis
Our priest explained that St. Francis de Sales had converted thousands back to the faith from Calvinism when he was Bishop of Geneva.

That is very true. I recently read a really good novel about his life entitled,
A Man of Good Zeal. It's an easy read and worth checking out.

But fortunately Calvin brought even more catholics into the Jansenist movement which gave them a true understanding of the Jesus of scripture.
