I read this morning about the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572, when tens of thousands of Huguenots (French Protestant Calvinists) were slaughtered by Roman catholics. That event prompted a reformulation of Calvinist political thought that was formative for Western civ.

Fascinating history that, if we're unwise, may repeat/rhyme.

See the chapter on Theodore Beza John Witte, Jr.'s [The Reformation of Rights](https://amzn.to/3GtLN9j).

"Know what you believe, and why you believe it."
