in January 1525, his dispute with Grebel and Manz led to a break between Zwingli and the Brethren.

For the sake of clarity, you still have not corrected your comment that Zwingli was an Anabaptist. It should read along the following lines...

"Grebel, a student of Zwingli (who always believed in infant baptism and never wavered) departed from the reformed faith and gathered followers to himself who later became known as Anabaptists who believed in rebaptism as adults.

Grebel rebaptized a former Catholic priest, Georg Blaurock, and in doing so, implied Blaurock's infant baptism was invalid, an act that was seen as blasphemy. Grebel and his followers then took off for Moravia and southern Germany to escape persecution.

It should also be mentioned that a major tenet of the Anabaptists was pacifism.

Gee, I wonder who would benefit by former Reformers becoming pacifists?

Ah yes.

You are correct. Thank you - it was my omission.
