  • Source: "...Kaiser... was arrested in March 1527, imprisoned, and finally interrogated. Charges against him included teaching justification through faith alone, contempt for good works, and heresy on several other issues, such as the Mass and its canon, confession and satisfaction, the other sacraments, freedom of the will, purgatory, invocation of the saints, and the power of the papacy. He was burned for his Lutheran beliefs on 16 August 1527. Entreaties on his behalf from Elector John of Saxony (r. 1525–1532) and Margrave Casimir of Brandenburg availed not at all. Luther wrote him a letter of consolation during his imprisonment. His death occasioned a propaganda exchange. Nine editions of an anonymous description of his execution elicited defenses of their respective positions from his instructor, Martin Luther" The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Reformation

@Gerda Arendt: I could not find a source for the 1977 memorial service. I think I am going to remove mention of it so the nomination can proceed. Thriley (talk) 14:50, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:41, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
