The Radical Reformation represented a response to corruption both in the Catholic Church and in the expanding Magisterial Protestant movement led by Martin Luther and many others, radical meaning “advocating or based on thorough or complete political or social change.”

In Germany and Switzerland during the 16th century, Radical Reformation gave birth to many radical Protestant groups throughout Europe. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria had a majority sympathizers for the movement. The surviving proportion of the European population that rebelled against rebelling against the Catholic, Lutheran and Reformed Churches was small, however. The movement grew more where those who were sympathetic allowed it.
