a Catholic controversialist revealed...

This might give some people a hint of the motivation and malice for making such information public if it were true. It also brings into question the honesty. 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 sounds par for the course to blame the victim, that part hasn't changed much. But we do know it "takes two to tango",so they say. I wonder who was his "partner" in this henious act since he was a teenager when it supposedly happened?

One lesson I remember from the nuns is, "Clean off your own doorstep before you try to clean off someone else's.".

I find it pretty ironic that the RCC is all up in arms about some supposed sexual impropriety by someone who has been dead for so many hundreds of years and has so little verification to back it up.

Jesus taught something about a speck and a plank, IIRC.

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

Good grief.
