Rather than play internet theologian, it might help to sit down and really, really read this article albeit a long one by someone who has really studied Calvin.

I had read this a long while ago over a two day period and it took me some time to find its author whose name I had forgotten.

But since you asked to just name “one” here it is although I could provide you several more. Recycling these old hat theories have been exposed for their utter uselessness by Catholic scholars whose works are standard fare in major universities.

Anyway, here we have a Protestant scholar who turned Catholic by reading Calvin.

Enjoy:

I loved it, too. I grew up in an Evangelical Church in the 1970s...

I was raised a Presbyterian, the Church that prides itself on Calvinist origins, but I didn’t care much about denominations.

I discovered that Calvin upset my Evangelical view of history.

That is one disjointed story. None of it makes any sense. It would be the Papist equivalent of saying you were raised in a Roman Catholic church but then touting you E.O. view and Anglican influence.
