I'll check this out. Though Calvinists teach the doctrine of TULIP, that many scholars say is a non-Christian doctrine, much like the Catholic's dogmas. But I will not go there.
You will not find me justifying the sins of John Calvin. If he did this, it would be wrong.

Please educate me. He had the scientist Michael Servetus (who contributed enormously to medicine and was the first European to describe pulmonary circulation) put to death for "heresy". He was also a strong supporter of biblical geocentricity denouncing those who "pervert the course of nature" by saying that "the sun does not move and that it is the earth that revolves and that it turns." Quite small black marks on his reputation compared to the infamy of the popes of those days!
