Answer: Ulrich Zwingli

Step-by-step explanation:

Huldrych Zwingli (1484 – 1531) was the leader of the Protestant Reformation in German-speaking Switzerland. He was born in Wildhaus, Sankt Gallen, Switzerland. He was a priest who arrived in Zurich from St Gallen in 1519.

Zwingli's humanistic views linked church, society, and theology. He gained the support of the magistrate, Mark Reust, and the population of Zürich in the 1520s. He completely transformed the Church, and in 1525 Zurich officially abolished the Catholic mass.

Zwingli's Reformation led to significant changes in civil life and state matters in Zürich. It spread to several other cantons of the Old Swiss Confederacy.
