Answer
The ecclesiastical hierarchy was the system of ranks and offices within the Catholic Church. Zwingli attacked it for a number of reasons, including its perceived corruption and its lack of biblical justification. He argued that the Bible did not support the idea of a priesthood or a hierarchy of bishops, and that all Christians were equal before God.
