lol. Calvin did not "torch" anyone (unlike Rome.)

Read the link I gave you so you can learn something other than papist PR. Servetus' death sentence was pronounced by the Councils of Geneva. Calvin was not part of the government and had no power either to condemn or to save Servetus.

But it's a convenient distraction for those who cannot find any other anvils to swing against the reformer.

LOL, I laughed so hard I had a two inch snot bubble. To paraphrase Truman; there are lies, damned lies, and the fervent denials of rabid anti-Catholics"
