| | Hussite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Among present-day Christians its traditions are represented in churches which call themselves Moravian or Unity of the Brethren churches, and in the refounded Czechoslovak Hussite Church. | | | The Hussite tradition was revived in the early 20th century by a movement of radical Roman Catholic clergy and lay people, who supported reforms such as the use of the Czech language in the liturgy and the removal of compulsory clerical celibacy. | | | The entire Hussite nobility joined the league, and if the king had entered it, its resolutions would have received the sanction of the law; but he refused, and approached the Roman Catholic League of lords, which was now formed, the members pledging themselves to cling to the king, the Roman Church, and the Council. |

| | The word of God shall be preached and made known in the kingdom of Bohemia freely and in an orderly manner by the priests of the Lord. | | | These articles, which contain the essence of the Hussite doctrine, were rejected by Sigismund, mainly through the influence of the papal legates, who considered them prejudicial to the authority of the Roman see. | | | Tabor soon became the centre of the advanced Hussites, who differed from the Utraquists by recognizing only two sacramentsBaptism and Communion and by rejecting most of the ceremonial of the Roman Church. |

| | Period of the Husit´s wars |
| | The Hussite Church was cosidered to be and autonomous part of the Church of Rome, but this proved problematic since unlide the Council, the Pope never recognised the Compacts. | | | These ranged from the moderates (part of the Hussite nobility, the university intelligntsia) to the centrists (most Praguers and their supprters in Bohemia) to the radicals, of whom the most important were two unions; the East Bohemian and the Taborite. | | | They were opposed by the moderate Hussites who were trying to reach agreement with the council, and who in alliance with the Bohemian Catholics defeated them on the 30th of May 1431 in a battle near the Central Bohemina village of Lipany. |

| | The Hussites were denounced as Heretics by the Catholic Church, however by 1420 (the first defenestration of Prague) there were too many of them for them all to be burned at the stake. | | | They rejected standards of the Catholic Church such as celibacy of priests, etc. They agreed with the Lollards (and Wyclif) about using only the Bible as a source for their doctrine. | | | The Hussites were an extreme (for their time) religious sect. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hussites |
| | For example, on 25 January, 1417, when some fanatical country parsons had destroyed the images and profaned the relics of their churches, the university, in virtue of the teaching authority it claimed, sent to all the faithful an exhortation to abstain from innovations and to hold fast to old customs. | | | They wisely objected to the appellation of Hussites, which implied separation from the Universal Church; willing to venerate Hus as a holy martyr of the old religion, they refused to see in him the founder of a new one. | | | The distinctive tenet of the Hussites is the necessity, alike for priest and layman of Communion under both kinds, sub utraque specie whence the term Utraquists. |

| | Czech Literature up to the Hussite Wars |
| | In defying the authority of the Church of Rome, in Chelčický's case substituting the authority of the Bible, the Hussites were clear precursors of the Lutheran Reformation. | | | The years of Hussite conflict and religious passion encouraged verse-pamphleteering, and moral didacticism, the writing of often warlike vernacular hymns, and anti-Catholic, but also anti-Hussite satires, as well as contemporary chronicles, polemics and sermons. | | | Like the Reformers, however, the Hussite religious writers, including the highly unconventional Chelčický, were on the whole dogmatic, partisan, and self-righteous. |
