>>Actually it is the antiCatholics that do it. How would Calvin learn after he died how to hold Calvin up as someone to follow. Your diction, your logic and your theology are equally dismal.<<

Better learn your history. It was actually the Catholics who sentenced Michael Servetus to be burned at the stake in 1553. Servetus escaped only to be captured by Calvin who then had him burned at the stake using green wood to make it take longer.

Before you try to excoriate someone else you really need to know the facts or you really look ignorant.

OK, it was the Catholic Church's fault that Calvin burned Servetus at the stake.

Better go back reread Alex's pertinent post. It was the secular authorities.

Bet your face is quite red now.
