Sacramentarians

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sacramentarians (also sacramentists or sacramenters ) were a group of the early Reformation period in Germany and the Netherlands who did not believe in the effect of the sacraments on their own . The sacramentarians also rejected the doctrine of transubstantiation and the doctrine of indulgences . You were among the first Dutch to formulate ideas about the Reformation.

The Franciscan Nicolaus Peters published the anti-Catholic script as early as 1520. This is where the seremons begin . In their thinking, the sacramentarians were strongly influenced by Erasmus of Rotterdam and by humanism . They had their centers mainly in the larger cities of the Netherlands. As a rule, however, they did not develop their own community structures. Many of them joined the evangelical Anabaptist movement after 1530 and later partly also the Reformed Church . Emperor Charles V fought the sacramentarians as heretics and some of them were sentenced to death at the stake.
