The charge of Sodomy was made about Calvin during his career as a religious despot in Geneva, Switzerland.

Your thread and posts are slanderous, crude fiction. The lie is so preposterous you capitalize it! lol.

It's a mark of Calvin's integrity that papists become so enraged by the mere mention of his name. They loathe everything he stood for -- Scriptural truth, Biblical inerrancy, the liberty of the Christian conscience, and the infallible leading of the Holy Spirit.

Calvin took no interest in his son who recedes into historical obscurity and is never heard from again.

Dying in infancy will do that.

Calvin married Idelette de Bure, "the excellent companion of his life." She died in 1549 and Calvin never ceased mourning her. Their only child Jacques, died shortly after he was born.

Here is a better picture of the great reformer and man of God, rather than the trash you've posted...

JOHN CALVIN, THE THEOLOGIAN

This is precious coming from someone who has repeated lies about the Catholic Church and Pope BXVI's life so many, many, times.

The truth is that Calvin was a vicious sodomite and like Luther's antisemitism, it affirms that God would not have chosen such a flawed vessel to bring what amounts to a new Gospel.

Calvin married Idelette de Bure, "the excellent companion of his life."

Here's the full quote using his own words: “the excellent companion of his life,” a “precious help to him amid his manifold labours and frequent infirmities.”

Note that there's nothing about love, just that she was a good servant.

Calvin never ceased mourning her.

Apparently because he now had to pay someone to scrub his floors.

No one would accuse me of being a Calvinist, but this article is just slander. Refute the man’s views, but don’t pretend this article is honest. It is a bunch of lies bundled with distortion.
