"The Affair of the Sausages (1522): A Sausage, a Pastor, and a Reformation"
In this quirky yet pivotal episode of the Swiss Reformation, we dive into the “Affair of the Sausages” — a bold act of defiance by pastor Ulrich Zwingli who challenged the Catholic ban on eating sausages during Lent. What started as a protest over fasting rules exploded into public outrage, cementing Zwingli’s place in history and fueling the Protestant movement in Switzerland. This funny yet profound incident, fueled by the spirit of Luther’s sola scriptura, became a turning point in religious history, with consequences as far-reaching as Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses. Get ready for a tasty slice of history that’s as savory as it is significant!
