from
Wikipedia
The turning point in Calvin's fortunes occurred when Michael Servetus, a fugitive from ecclesiastical authorities, appeared in Geneva on 13 August 1553.
Servetus was a Spanish physician and Protestant theologian who boldly criticised the doctrine of the Trinity and paedobaptism ( infant baptism ).
In July 1530 he disputed with Johannes Oecolampadius in Basel and was eventually expelled.
He went to Strasbourg where he published a pamphlet against the Trinity.
Bucer publicly refuted it and asked Servetus to leave.
After returning to Basel, Servetus published Two Books of Dialogues on the Trinity () which caused a sensation among Reformers and Catholics alike.
The Inquisition in Spain ordered his arrest.
