With which group was Zwingli in confrontation leading to his death?

  • The Papal States

  • The Anabaptists

  • The Catholic Cantons

  • The Calvinists

Answer

The Catholic Cantons were a group of Swiss cantons that remained loyal to the Catholic Church during the Protestant Reformation. They were opposed to Zwingli's teachings and his call for a more democratic church. This led to a series of conflicts between the Catholic Cantons and the Protestant cantons, culminating in the Battle of Kappel in 1531, in which Zwingli was killed.
