Don’t make me laugh, that is nothing but a Catholic caricature.

"Calvin? Bitter?"

That was a typo. Calvin was a [pillow] biter. At least those were the charges when he snuck out of France and into Geneva.

I wouldn't think of it. You're Calvinist, aren't you.

He indeed was bitter that his father and brother were excommunicated and he was bitter that his father forced him to stop his theological studies to become a lawyer. But no worries on your side. According to Calvinist theolgoy his father was predestined to be a crook and John Calvin was predestined to be bitter.
