Calvin's political interests had a beginning in his humanistic studies, before his conversion, or commitment to Protestantism.His Commentary on Seneca's De Clementiaappeared April 4, 1532. The date of his conversion is much disputed, but there is fairly good evidence for placing it almost exactly two years later, about the time of his visit to Lefèvre in April, 1534. His own statements here must be given more weight than those made by Beza after Calvin's death. If, as is probable, he was inwardly half convinced of the Protestant position in 1532, he was, nonetheless, still clinging tenaciously-in his own words "obstinately devoted (adonné)"-to the papacy and had apparently not definitely discarded any of his traditional assumptions with respect to religion
