Consensus Tigurinus

The Consensus Tigurinus was a formal agreement made in 1549 between Swiss reformers John Calvin and Heinrich Bullinger, affirming key Protestant beliefs against Catholic teachings. It emphasized that salvation comes solely through faith in Jesus Christ, that Scripture is the ultimate authority, and rejected doctrines like the Catholic Mass as a sacrifice. The document aimed to promote unity among Reformed churches and counter Catholic objections. Essentially, it was a collaborative statement clarifying core Protestant doctrines to strengthen their shared faith and clarify differences from the Catholic Church.
