Yes, but there are infiltrators everywhere defending the character of God. Was pretty interesting to read newspapers from Geneva in German and what the inhabitants thought of Calvin. They hated him.

To this day Europeans do not like each other.
So, there were other reasons. Although C moved to Geneva and lived there, I'm sure he was never accepted by the populace. He was accepted, however, by the hierarchy of the church. He had a lot of influence.
