***They bounced him out because he wanted his own theocratic autocracy....the Genevans accused him of making himself an (ersatz) pope.***

Yeah, they bounced him out and took him back and then bounced him out again. But they are the Swiss.

I didn’t know that he frequented bathhouses. Interesting. Google is indeed our friend. It appears that John Calvin was a drunkard, an adulterer and a frequent homosexual in addition to his other sterling qualities. I wonder what our Reformed brethren will say to that, or is this yet another shameful secret that they will not comment on.

Never heard of that.
