"He was convicted of sedition and Pelagianism at Geneva, in 1551, and banished the territory of the republic."

Which means he was right and had to be formally destroyed. The only reason Calvin had to have a secret police was because he had so many secrets to protect.

Secret police???

Do you know anything of history?

Geneva had one of the first representative forms of government. Based on Biblical precepts, the city was run by two elected councils -- a larger council, like the U.S. House of Representatives, and a smaller council, like the U.S. Senate.

All elected.

Where do you think the founding fathers got the ideas from which they fashioned this country's constitutional, representative government?

"Secret police" was Rome's modus operandi which gave us Mussolini and Hitler and Chavez and Franco and Peron and Castro and Somoza and Philip II...

The list is endless.
