I am not a follower of Calvin but I wonder if he, as a former Catholic, experienced any form of abuse from his own priests.

It seems that you are blaming the Catholic Church for sodomy allegedly committed by Calvin, without any evidence of such.

Good grief.

That just goes to show you the lengths some will go to to tar the Church with any scandal.

Actually, I was not. My question had to do with the un-evidenced accusation of an act committed by an 18 year old young man and, since he was still a Roman Catholic at the time and he had an accomplice, I asked if his clergy was involved somehow. You don't hear the whole story and I wondered why.
