You are right. I meant to say Balthasar Hubmaier. The interesting thing about Hubmaier is that he did not believe in personal self-defense, if I understand correctly. Only in defensive, just-war. (not holy war)

A wee little man can’t say, I’m sorry. A big man owns his mistakes and apologizes.
A wee little man trusts himself and his own discernment. A big man is humble enough to know that he needs the counsel and input of others.

So did Augustine - “just war” was the official Catholic position
