Editing Heinrich Bullinger (section)

==== Installed at Zürich (1531) ====
While Zwingli viewed war as an appropriate way of spreading the Reformation, Bullinger did not. When Zwingli called the cantons of Zürich and Bern to war against the Catholic cantons, Bullinger opposed him, even preaching against it. Bullinger argued that religious reform came only through the preaching of the gospel, not through war. Despite a period of peace following the [[First War of Kappel|First Kappel War]], Zwingli once again sought military victory over the Roman Catholics. His bellicosity led to the [[Second War of Kappel|Second Kappel War]], after Roman Catholics attacked Bremgarten, where Bullinger was ministering. Zwingli's supposed reinforcements turned out to be Roman Catholic and deserted him, and Zwingli was killed. Although the Peace of Kappel allowed each canton to choose its own religion, Bremgarten was excluded from the agreement and re-catholicized. Bullinger and his family lost almost all their possessions and fled to Zürich.<ref name=":10" />{{Rp||pages=84–86|page=}}

As a leading Protestant preacher, Bullinger was immediately called as pastor by [[Bern]], [[Basel]], and [[Appenzell]].<ref name=":0" /> Only three days after fleeing from Bremgarten, Bullinger stood in the pulpit of the [[Grossmünster]]. [[Oswald Myconius]] said Bullinger so "thundered a sermon from the pulpit that many thought Zwingli was not dead but resurrected like the [[Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix]]".<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":5" /> On 9 December, Zürich also officially asked him to be Zwingli's successor as [[antistes]].<ref name=":10" />{{Rp||pages=|page=91}}<ref name=":5" /> In part out of loyalty to Zürich, Bullinger chose to succeed Zwingli there.<ref name=":1" /> He retained the office until his death in 1575.<ref name=":3" /> Bullinger regularly preached 12 sermons a week in the Grossmünster for the first ten years of his ministry until [[Kaspar Megander]] was appointed to assume the majority of his preaching duties. Bullinger preached an estimated 28,000 sermons in the Grossmünster pulpit.<ref name=":10" />{{Rp||pages=125–26|page=}}
