Wasn’t Calvin’s father an excommunicated thief?
That too, but that only went into the shaping of Calvin's character. The real issue is that he was an accused sodomite who fled France under a cloud of suspicion. I only bring it up in the context of the double standard applied by the anti-Catholics. Where they are so quick to condemn Catholics they are reluctant to admit any problems in their own clergy and fiercely defensive of the sinless reputation of the fathers of the reformation.
The latter (Calvins father)died in 1531, under excommunication from the chapter for not sending in his accounts. The old man's illness, not his lack of honesty, was, we are told, the cause.
