Document Summary
More hardcore lutherans than melanchthon would be even less enamoured with trent. Not only was it wrong on justification, it was also wrong on scripture. It was wrong on the eucharist and other sacraments: the radical reaction. Born again theology and the rest had been cast aside by the council: the calvinist reaction. Calvin and the calvinists were also unlikely to be impressed with the decrees of trent. While calvin had retreated from some of the extreme views of zwingli. He too would reject compatibilism: calvin"s reaction. Calvin had the good fortune of still being alive during trent. So he was able to decry as it happened. He like luther continued to call for a council that would exonerate him. Trent was certainly not that council: a free council. Rejecting trent, calvin instead demanded a free council that would not be convened by a pope or tainted by italian involvement.
