Zwingli

Huldrych Zwingli was one of the leaders who led the major reforms in the 18th century, primarily in Switzerland. He differed from the Catholic church and the other protestants of this time because he opposed many things that others did not. For example, he believed that the eucharist was only a symbol to signify Christ, and did not actually turn into the blood and the body of Christ as many thought. He disagreed with the Anabaptists especially because of his views on Baptism, and where he thought infant Baptism was acceptable, while they thought it was not. He also opposed fasting during lent and the use of images, or idols, in places of worship. He clashed with the Anabapist reformers, which ultimately led to their persecution.
