"Those who will not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
This thread's focus is the events of Reformation era Münster and especially the theocracy established 1531-1535.
Protestants, Catholics, Anabaptists & others are invited to interact on these events and their meaning. Certainly the concept of tolerance in the 16th century was quite different than in the 21st century.
This and future threads seek to put into historical context the oft debated better known events surrounging the Inquisition and Michael Servetus.

Talk about going all over the place; Catholic, then Lutheran, then Anabaptist; then Catholic again with strong lutheran minority; then counter-reformed Catholic. Wow, I figured most German cities went one way or another, and stayed that way.
