Abstract
"Before the Protestant reformation triumphed in the territories of Vaud and Geneva, three important religious disputations, as they were called, were held, two in Geneva in 1534 and 1535 and one in Lausanne in 1536. The main theme of these debates was authority in matters of religion. Should it be the church as the Catholics affiirmed or the Scripture only as the Protestants claimed? It is interesting to see that the defenders of Rome used Sunday-keeping to try to prove that the Protestants themselves recognized by their actions what they denied by their words; namely, that the church stands above Scripture"
