As Brunner identified the pope as the Antichrist in a sermon on John 16:5, the dean, as successor to the exiled Johann Wecker, transferred him as a priest to the small Marien pilgrimage church at Klein Höchstetten. The German priest Wecker had preached against the Milan campaigns and the funeral rites for the dead of the mercenary system, thereby inflicting the wrath of the Bernese authorities.
