The Ubiquitarians, also called Ubiquists, were a
Protestant sect started at the
Lutheran synod of
Stuttgart,
19 December, 1559, by
Johannes Brenz, a
Swabian (1499-1570).Its profession, made under the name of Duke Christopher of
Württemberg, and entitled the "Württemberg Confession," was sent to the
Council of Trent, in 1552, but had not been formally accepted as the Ubiquitarian creed until the synod at Stuttgart.
Luther had upset the peace of
Germany by his disputes. In the effort to reconcile and unite the contending forces against the
Turks,
Charles V demanded of the
Lutherans a written statement of their doctrines. This — the "
Augsburg Confession" — was composed by
Philip Melanchthon, and read at a meeting at
Augsburg in 1530. Its tenth article concerned the
Real Presence of
Christ in the
Blessed Sacrament, a burning question among the Protestants. In 1540, Melanchthon published another version of the "Augsburg Confession", in which the article on the Real Presence differed essentially from what had been expressed in 1530. The wording was as follows:Edition of 1530: "Concerning the
Lord's Supper, they teach that the body and blood of
Christ are truly present, and are distributed (communicated) to those that eat in the Lord's Supper; and they disapprove of those that teach otherwise." Edition of 1540: "Concerning the Lord's Supper, they teach that with bread and wine are truly exhibited the body and blood of Christ to those that eat in the Lord's Supper."
