“Further, we see their impudence when they accuse us of excessive severity and say, 'You do not need to lash out this way against the pope and his people and call him Antichrist. You can preach the gospel well enough without such accusations. What good does it do to say that priests are ravenous wolves who will devour the flock of Jesus Christ and poison everyone with their false doctrine?' Those men are really dreadful teachers. They should have been born sooner so they could have taught Peter how to preach and instruct him what to say.” -John Calvin
