Have the Calvinists stopped digging up corpses and burning them, like John Calvin's cronies did to John of Bruges, aka Jan David Joris?

They'll not have been doing it as long, as frequently or as energetically as their Catholic brethren, if so.

So, now we're down to the argument that, yeah we may have done it, but not as often as you.

Here's a guy, Jan David Joris, who so feared for his life under Calvin's police state, that he had to write his opposition to Calvin's practices/doctrines under the assumed name John of Bruges so that he wouldn't be persecuted.

3 year after the poor fellow had died and was buried, the Calvinists found out the true identity of John of Bruges. So they held a trial to convict him of heresy, exumed his corpse and punished him by burning.
