"In 1562, Castellion published Conseil à la France désolée (Advice to a desolate France) in which he exposed « le forcement des consciences » (the mastering of conscience) and pleaded for letting « les deux religions -catholique et protestante- libres, et que chacun tienne sans contrainte celle des deux qu’il voudra » (both religions (Catholic and Protestant) free for each individual to choose, one or the other as he pleased). In 1563, the Reformed synod in Lyon condemned the book." - Virtual Museum of Protestantism.
