Uyu Fideli yavukiye mu mujyi wa Sigmaringen mu Budage, ku ya 1 Ukwakira 1578. Mbere yo kwiyegurira Imana yitwaga Mariko Ruwa (Marc Roy). Yize amashuri ya Filozofiya (ityazabwenge) i Friburu mu gihugu cy’Ubusuwisi, aba umuhanga cyane. Fideli yari azi ko ubwenge busa budashingiye ku mico y’ukuri ya gikirisitu, aho kugira akamaro, butuma nyirabwo aba umugiranabi cyane. Nuko yihata ubutagatifu yimazeyo. Yari azi kuvuga neza bitangaje. Abanza ndetse kwiga amategeko y’igihugu n’ay’amahanga yandi ngo azabe avoka. Nuko asohotse aba umucamanza w’ikirenga, aburanira benshi, cyane cyane abatagira kirengera, abatindi n’imbabare zikennye.
