He literally had a man tortured every day for a month before beheading him. All because the guy (Jacques Gruet) opposed him and called him a heretic.

I live in Scotland whose whole culture is steeped in Calvinism, because of the Scottish Reformation. A close American friend once explained to me he is now a Calvinist. Then he asked me if I knew what Calvinism is? I replied, 'You obviously don't, if you ask me that question!.' By the way Calvinism is not the Gospel... the Gospel came first! Calvinism is one way to express the Gospel!
I've heard geneva was in a paper shortage and a librarian gave people his sermons to write on the back of!! may be wrong, not sure. we have different sources!
This is true! From one writer: "Early in the nineteenth century the pastor in charge of the Bibliothèque de Genève where they were stored sold most of the volumes of Calvin’s manuscript sermons ‘by weight,’ that is, presumably as waste paper; and although some were eventually recovered, about a thousand were permanently lost."
What a humble great servant of God!

Catholic's often tell me that Calvin was a murderer. What are some good sources for discovering if that is true or not?
