[QUOTE="rakovsky, post: 69247757, member: 31810"] Since we are in the Conspiracy Theory section, I might as well point out that there is a Conspiracy Theory about Calvin. According to some conspiracy theories, the Templars, under their Red Cross, hid with their massive wealth in Switzerland after France banned them. These theorists connect Switzerland's independence, militancy, wealth, and red cross symbols with the Templars. One conspiricist website claims that Calvin was connected with the Templars and Rosicrucians: [URL]http://enjoyingthejourney.blogspot.com/2006/06/john-calvin-orginally-cohen-then-cauin.html[/URL] See also the conspiricist site: [URL]https://watch.pair.com/reformation-2.html[/URL] Please note, by the way, that I am not actually advocating this theory, and Calvin's ethnicity does not itself matter, and in any case he wrote anti-Semitic statements. [B] This debunking site says:[/B] [URL]http://semiticcontroversies.blogspot.com/2013/08/was-john-calvin-jewish.html[/URL] As to another alleged "hidden" side of Calvin, a modern biographer of Calvin, A.
