SACRAMENTARIANS , the name given to those who during the See also:Reformation controversies not only denied the See also:Roman See also:Catholic " See also:transubstantiation," but also the Lutheran " See also:con-substantiation." They comprised two parties: (r) the followers of See also:Capito, See also:Carlstadt and See also:Bucer, who at the See also:diet of See also:Augsburg presented the Confessio Tetrapolitana from See also:Strassburg, See also:Constance, See also:Lindau and See also:Memmingen; (2) the followers of the Swiss reformer See also:Zwingli, who to the same diet presented his private See also:confession of faith . The doctrinal standpoint was the same—an See also:admission of a spiritual presence of See also:Christ which the devout soul can receive and enjoy, but a See also:total rejection of any See also:physical or corporeal presence . After holding their own view for some years the four cities accepted the Confession of Augsburg, and were merged in the See also:general See also:body of See also:Lutherans; but Zwingli's position was incorporated in the Helvetic Confession . It is a curious See also:inversion of terms that in See also:recent years has led to the name Sacramentarians being applied to those who hold a high or extreme view of the efficacy of the sacraments . |
