In the 16th century there was no other religion than Roman Catholicism permitted in Italy. I never hear any Roman Catholics claiming insult over that.
And the fact remains Calvin had no elected position in the government of Geneva. He wasn't even on the city council.

I don’t know why you pinged me to discuss the Inquisition, I’m Anglican and my family have been in danger from both sides, although the most recent was Cromwell. I never mentioned Calvin by name; I only questioned how those who are not Calvinist might be treated if Calvinists ever became the majority.
I repeat I do not want to live in ANY country that tells me how or where I must worship.
True worship can not be compelled.
