jan 1, 1509 - john Calvin

Description:

In the mid 1500s A.D., another religious leader by the name of John Calvin began working to bring about reform in the Catholic Church. Like Huldrych Zwingli, Calvin lived in Switzerland, and wanted to set up a theocracy.

By 1541 A.D., John Calvin had managed to set up his theocracy in Geneva. The city government forced all citizens to attend church several times a week and had very strict rules about what people could and could not do.
