"(Andreas) Karlstadt reflected the anti-clerical attitude of the time. He insisted that the pastor communicate with the laity, and he disregard clerical vestments and titles. Lady were endowed with clerical rights such as reading and Proclamation from scripture and celebration of the Lord's Supper in private homes. For the sake of order, in public assembly the chosen Pastor simply exercised such functions for all."
