Here's a founder of the Anabaptist movement from Muenster who revolted against the Vatican.

 

Bernhard Knipperdolling (c. 1495 – January 22, 1536) was a German leader of the Münster Anabaptists.

 

Bernhard Knipperdolling taught that the righteous before the day of Judgment, [each person would] have a monarchy on earth and the wicked be destroyed, that men are not justified by their faith in Christ; that there is no original sin; that infants ought not to be baptized, and that immersion is the only mode of baptism; that every one has the authority to preach and administer the sacraments; that men are not obliged to pay respect to magistrates; that all things ought to be in common, and that it is lawful to marry many wives.[1]

 

On February 10, 1534, Knipperdolling joined the movement to overthrow the town council and bishop, along with Jan Matthys and Jan Bockelson (or John of Leiden), one of Matthys' twelve disciples. He rallied the Anabaptists against conservative forces with "frenzied ecstasies". Accepted by the council, Knipperdolling won the elections of February 24, 1534, becoming Lord Mayor of Münster – this was the high point of the Anabaptist movement. His house became the centre of the Anabaptist movement; on January 15, 1534 the first believers' baptisms were performed there.

 

He basically founded an anti-catholic sex cult. He wound up killing off any follower with whose wives he wasn't allowed to sleep with.

 

Lot's of German Anabaptists decend from this movement including the Amish, Brethren, and Mennonites, even perhaps the Mormons.
