Protestantism confesses its wrong by a monument of expiation as to Servetus. The proposed<br />
inscription on this monument is as follows:<br />
“To Michael Servetus, burned for his convictions at Champel, October 27, 1553, victim of the<br />
religious intolerance of his time. The Protestants <strong>and</strong> friends of <strong>Calvin</strong> have erected this expiatory<br />
monument to repudiate all coercion in matters of faith, <strong>and</strong> to proclaim their invincible attachment<br />
to the gospel <strong>and</strong> to liberty, October 27, 1903."<br />
How remarkable the fact of such a monument. In all the world, past or present, nothing like it can be<br />
found. Also, how historically accurate is its inscription. Servetus was “burned for his convictions;” he<br />
was a “victim of the religious intolerance of his time.” Some, indeed, there are who would make it<br />
appear that Servetus was burned for political rather than religious reasons, <strong>and</strong> so in a measure<br />
excuse <strong>Calvin</strong>, but the combined facts of history are against them. The burning of Servetus was the<br />
crime of <strong>Calvin</strong>. Protestantism must still bear the blame for the awful Genevan tragedy.<br />
