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.

He should have stayed and become a priest, he would have fit right in with the sodomites and fornicators in the priesthood huh?

BTW The accusation came from a catholic that hated reformed doctrine.. not a 7 year old altarboy

"The accusation came from a catholic that hated reformed doctrine.."

The accusation? There were multiple. However, this does show the duplicity of the anti-Catholic's "four legs good, two legs bad" mentality. Accusations agains Calvin, Reformists, and Protestant Clergy are dismissed out of hand, but any and all accusations against any Catholic are accompanied by a presumption of guilt.

It is a bit flattering that the Catholic Church is always held to a higher standard than Protestant churches by the anti-Catholics. It affirms a subliminal acknowledgment of the superiority of the Catholic Church and its clergy as reflected in Luke 12:48;

"From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more."
