In all honesty, the article is correct. There where many Calvinist’s that “went Turk” back in the day. Some because of trade (so they could get places they couldn’t other wise). Some because of being forced, but many because of the similarities.

There are VAST differences, but look at where Geneva was starting to head even in the time of Calvin. There were some who wanted to dump the Trinity already.

The Calvinists had one Arian heretic burned at the stake. His name was Servetus. In October 1553 Servetus was burned at the stake.

In this they were in complete agreement with the Catholic Church which several centuries earlier had put whole cities of Albigensians to the sword for the same heresy.

So, using the same logic, if I can find a group of Catholics in history who were ready to dump the trinity, then I have effectively defeated the argument for Catholicism?

Is that correct?
