[Servant of the Nine]

Oh please. You have evaded. Gutless slander from a poltroon. Hasta la vista.

Chapter XXI, sub. 3 (Geneva and Strausbourg 1536 - 1541)

Will and Ariel Durant were leftists. Hardly a credible source. No facts were actually cited. However, I applaud you for providing a citation nonetheless.

Calvin, like Luther, was a lightning rod. Historians and pick and choose to make him appear as a great man or a cretin.

The fact is that Geneva prospered and benefited greatly under the influence of Calvin. For example, the death rates in Geneva due to the plague were far lower than in other European cities because he advocated a strict program of hygiene.

Hasta la vista from a fun-loving Calvinists.
