Servetus was executed by the civil authorities, and Calvin had zero civil office.

Yeah, and the Pharises had nothing to do with the crucifixtion of Jesus Christ.

Actually, you're correct.

If the Jews had killed Christ, they would have stoned him to death as they did St. Stephen. Remember?

Crucifixion was the Romanist form of execution.

The Romans killed the Son of God and blamed it on the Jews. Sweet trick, ain't it?

And Calvin had no authority to execute Servetus.

Cheers

To the Romans it was a sedition problem and they wanted to keep order in the Jewish state.
