Why is John Calvin so important today?

John Calvin was very important to the development of challenging the Catholic Church and its practices. For example, the Catholic Church believed in "indulgences" , which were basically free passes to do whatever you wanted to do. The Church sold these, supposedly so after you committed a sin, you could buy back your favor with God. This was abused and many priests sold these so that you had a free pass. Instead, he believed that you must accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior before you are saved. Then you were saved forever. This made it so that believers did not need to continue to buy forgiveness, continuing to fatten the pockets of many corrupt priest.
