[George W. Bush]

Servetus was killed by Geneva's civil authority. Calvin was called as a witness, given that Servetus' heresies were well-known to him. Servetus was already condemned by all the other religious factions in Europe and he was already under death sentence from Rome. There is little doubt someone would have murdered him if the Geneva authorities hadn't done it first.

Most of your other accounts of Protestant killings care tracable to the Church of England. Given that they were a mirror image of Rome in their methods, one can hardly describe them as Protestant. They were little more than another variety of papist who wanted to keep clerical incomes in their own country and control their own infallible pronouncements with the weight of law and the power of the state to back them.

[Polycarp]

Servetus was killed by Geneva's civil authority.

And the Spanish Inquisition was the work of the civil authorities. But by your hypocritical double standards, the guilt of the Inquisition lies solely at the feet of Rome while the guilt of the death of Servetus lies solely at the feet of the civil authority.

Give us a break.
