COB-NET Historical Notes: Menno Simons Born: 1496 ~ Witmarsum in Friesland, The Netherlands Note: Catholic priest, reformer, founder of Mennonites He was trained for the priesthood as a youth and consecrated for service in 1524, and began serving in Pinjum parish. After seven years, he returned to live and minister in his home town of Witmarsum. Priestly duties consisted of serving mass, hearing of confessions, baptizing newborns, and offering prayers. Tragically, it did not include reading the Bible, for although Simons was instructed in how to read and write Latin in the monastery, he systematically avoided the Bible out of fear, because he had been educated that only the Pope can interpret scripture without error.
