- More radical and confrontational stance was to shape both German-speaking and francophone branches of the Reform
- Zwingli and his followers won over municipal authorities and mass was officially abolished in Zurich in 1525
- Due to:
- Preaching and debate
- Public acts of defiance

- Due to:
- As in Germany, evident political dividend to embracing Reformation
- Coincided with movement for independence of Swiss cantons from authority of the Holy Roman Emperor
- In case of Geneva, independence from authority of over lordship of bishop of Savoy
- Not all cantons were won over to Reformed ideas
- Including those who disliked Zwingli's opposition to hiring of Swiss mercenaries to fight in foreign wars on which several areas were economically dependent
- According to Gordon: Zwingli would die in battle with Swiss Catholic cantons at Kappel in 1531
- Influence of Luther's work on Zwingli and their conflict
- Zwingli claims he reached these ideas independently
- Zwingli freely acknowledges influence
- Open and growing hostility between two camps in late 1520s
