Refusing to Kiss the Slipper reveals that the French Reformation was more complex and colorful than previously recognized. History has long viewed all French Protestants as Calvinists; this book, by contrast, tells the stories of French Protestants who opposed and often detested John Calvin. These opponents believed that Calvin had set himself up as a "Protestant pope" demanding obedience to his own religious authority. They believed Calvin's self-appointed leadership undermined the bedrock principle of the Reformation that the faithful be allowed to challenge religious authorities.
