Compromise between Catholics and Protestants: +ref
[td]In order to keep the peace between Catholics and Protestants as well as a policy of neutrality between the Catholic and Protestant powers, the Grand Council of Geneva on March 30, 1533 passed a statute of compromise which permitted every Genevan to choose his religious affiliation, while prohibiting open attacks on Catholic doctrines and practices and all religious preaching in open places for both parties. Eating meat on Fridays was prohibited for both parties.<ref>[[Jean-Henri Merle d'AubignΓ©]], ''History of the Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin'' (En. tr., New York, 1864), vol.
