St. FIDELIS OF SIGMARINGEN
Christian Saint
Also known as Fidelis Of Sigmarengen
Successful preacher who got on the wrong side of the Calvinists
A German who took the habit and was sent to preach among the Grisons.
He was so successful at gaining converts from the Calvinists that he soon become very unpopular – at least amongst the Calvinists.
Having a musket fired at him in church filled him with foreboding, but he carried on regardless despite the dread. His last letter finished with the words: ‘Yours sincerely, Brother Fidelis, who will shortly be food for worms.’
How very true. Shortly after, he was attacked by a group of armed men who split his skull and hacked his body to pieces in a frenzy.
