"Have the Calvinists stopped digging up corpses and burning them, like John Calvin's cronies did to John of Bruges, aka Jan David Joris?"

It kind of beats burning them before their dead, like the cronies in the Catholic church did to heretics.LOL, but sadly so true.

Tens of thousands of French Protestant Huguenots, men, women and children, burned in their sleep.

The slaughter was such a success, the pope issued a commemorative coin.

I'm going to try real hard not to post to this inane thread again. The lies seem to give them so much pleasure.

Have you ever noticed that those that benefited from the Calvinist view point, New Englanders and those North of Virginia speak against it most fervently?

The white flag offered in recognition of the futility of defending the indefensible? Besides there are more important things to do, what with all of the lies left untold about the Pope and the Catholic Church.

It is interesting that when this is brought up, a Calvinist never mentions the Religous Wars when this event occurred or the atrocities on either side. You never hear mention of Briquemont, who wore a string of priests' ears as a necklace.

The slaughter was such a success, the pope issued a commemorative coin.

The commemoration was not of the massacre. The inscription on the coin commemorates the overthrow of the Hugenots. In fact, Gregory XIII did not approve of the massacre. He detested the cruel act and shed tears when he was apprised of it.

Never count on a Calvinist giving the full story when they are trying to score points.
