Calvin on the Evils of Roman Catholic Worship
Posted: July 15, 2015 Filed under: Just for Fun 3 CommentsCalvin on the evils of Roman Catholic worship and the remedy for the idolatry of having images in worship. He writes,
But, besides the clear testimonies which are everywhere met with in Scripture, we are also supported by the authority of the ancient Church.
