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.

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

Fault? The Catholics sentence him to be burned at the stake but he escapes releases them from the fact that they did practice the act of burning at the stake? I wouldn’t release either the Catholic Church nor Calvin from the guilt on that one.
