Teaching

His " disputation adversus indulgentias " and directed against the claims of the papacy treatise "On the authority, duty and authority of the sacred pastors " caused 1477 the dismissal and transfer as cathedral minister to Mainz, and in 1479, after imprisonment in the Franciscan mendicant, who later became a Jesuit convent his summons before a court of inquisition in Mainz, from which he could be moved from the papal inquisitor Gerhard von Elten revocation ( all his writings were burned ); Johann was still two years until his death in 1481 at the Augustinian monastery in imprisonment.
