I guess having held political power in your church still held some sway, no matter how completely psychotic the Vatican went after his natural and timely demise. It's nice to know some things never change.

You're saying that with a straight face with what we know about Calvin and his police state? It's funny you brought this up now that we know what Calvin and his homies did to dissenters. But sure, go ahead and blame it on the Catholics. All the evil things Calvin did or thought are due to the Catholics - at least that's the flimsy defense the Calvinists try to force on anyone willing to listen.

Speaking of change, it took the Protestant Reformation for Christians to move beyond such barbarities, and even so, it even took Protestants many decades to shed these very odious, learned behaviors, to the betterment of all Christendom. No more burning at the stake, no more digging up dead bodies to punish the dead.

Yep, blame it on the Catholics, as expected.

Such a silly, dusty old superstition, as if we judge the dead.

Oh now, don't go flattering yourself.

My goodness, must've hit a nerve, lol. Multiple replies to my little ol' effort? Calvin's so-called "police state" paled in comparison to the millennia preceding under Catholicism.

There y'all go again, it's not as if Calvin's behavior was some brand new thing under the sun. He learned it while he was Catholic.
