- Description is exactly "The Onus ecclesie was listed in the Tridentine <em>Index</em> in Class III among the anonymous works though its author is now known to be Berthold Pürstinger. Written in 1519, the work was a daring call for internal reform within the Catholic Church. In the large woodcut by Jörg Breu, the earthly Church suffers a firestorm, plagues of insects, and attacks by Satan, as predicted in the quotations from the Book of Revelation held aloft by God and the angels."
