L'affaire des placards - posted in several French cities in 1534 posters, denying the importance of the Catholic Mass. This is a symbolic event, considered the beginning of the Reformation in France. History

On the night of 17th and 18th October, in the streets of Paris, Tours, Orléans, Blois and Amboise, posters were posted, titled: Real articles on the horrible, great and abusive abuse of the papal mass invented especially against the Holy Supper of Jesus Christ. / p>

The posters were clearly addressed to the King of France, Francis I, because they were also displayed in the royal castles, and even on the door of the king's chamber in Blois. Antoine Marcourt, the pastor of Neuchâtel, said: "Mass is a blasphemy. The only sacrifice of Christ can not be repeated in any case. " He also blasphemed the idolatry of the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation: "In this unfortunate mass, the whole world was dissolved into public idolatry, giving falsely to the fact that under the figures of bread and wine, the true and true Jesus Christ ... is concealed and hidden." Marcourt referred to the Catholic Mass as "an absurd tradition, an indescribable tangle of ringing, hissing, singing, ceremonies, lights, spectacles, masquerades and other apes." In addition to these insulting terms, Marcourt also attacked Catholic clergy, describing them as "wolves that feed on the fragile flesh of their sheep - kill, burn, destroy, murder robbers of all who do not nod." effects

This attack on the Catholic faith and on the king caused investigation, provocation and brutal repression against the innocents. On January 21, 1535 a solemn procession was opened in Paris, during which the consecrated Host was adorned and burned on the heap of a dozen or so "heretics." In response to these repressions, Marcourt in January 1535 published the "Little Treatise on the Holy Eucharist," which attacked the real presence of Christ's body and blood in consecrated bread and wine, and underlined the absurdity of such a concept.

The affair of posters caused a final doctrinal split between French Catholics and followers of reforms in the Church, and highlighted the differences between the Lutheran doctrine of consubstantiality and the future Calvinist doctrine of the exclusive presence of Christ during the Eucharist.

Some historians postpone the posters of the same importance for the Reformation in France, which was to be seen in the Reformation in Luther in Wittenberg.
