| | Lollardy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Lollards challenged the practice of clerical celibacy and believed priests should not hold political positions since temporal matters should not interfere with the priests’ spiritual mission. | | | The Lollards stated that the Catholic Church had been corrupted by temporal matters and that its claim to be the true church was not justified by its heredity. | | | Believing that more attention should be given to the message in the scriptures rather than to ceremony and worship, the Lollards denounced the ritualistic aspects of the Church such as transubstantiation, exorcism, pilgrimages, and blessings. |

| | The Lollards The Anabaptist Network |
| | Lollard preachers were a mission band that contrasted sharply with the maintenance orientation of the parish priests and the monks. | | | Lollards used their new English versions of the Bible to contrast the simplicity of the early church with the formalism and complexity of contemporary church life. | | | Lollard preaching called for personal responsibility rather than passive acceptance of clerical authority and expressed the doubts that were more widely felt about some of the seemingly superstitious and biblically unwarranted beliefs and practices of the church. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Lollards |
| | In the fifteenth century the Lollards became a more compact body with more definite negations, a change which can be explained by mere lapse of time which confirms a man in his beliefs and by the more energetic repression exercised by the ecclesiastical authorities. | | | As the Lollards in the course of the fifteenth century became less and less of a learned body we find an increasing tendency to take the Bible in its most literal sense and to draw from it practical conclusions out of all harmony with contemporary life. | | | This article will deal with the general causes which led to the spread of Lollardy, with the doctrines for which the Lollards were individually and collectively condemned by the authorities of the Church, and with the history of the sect. |

| | In Amersham a Lollard named Richard Sanders was so influential that neighbours who informed on him were deprived of their livelihoods. | | | In 1389, about five years after Wycliffe's death, three Lollards were brought from Leicester to Dorchester-on-Thames to make their submission to the Church authorities. | | | The second was a tendency on the part of the inhabitants to adopt the 'general' form of the Baptist faith, which rejected predestination, rather than the more Calvinistic 'particular' form. |

| | WILLIAM TYNDALE Covenant Theologian, Christian Martyr Part 1: Background and Early Biography |
| | “Lollard” is a pejorative word coined by an Irish Cistercian monk for the followers of John Wyclif, a scholar at Oxford during the late fourteenth century who believed that the Bible was the sole sure basis of belief and practice, and that it ought to be placed in the hands of the people. | | | Hunne, a Lollard sympathizer, found himself in trouble for refusing to pay burial fees, was dressed down publicly by the priest, and when he turned to the ecclesiastical authorities to complain, he found himself in prison. | | | The official Church was of course opposed to these Lollard ideas, as they attacked the very basis of episcopal and priestly power and function. |

| | Who were the Lollards |
| | Lollards believed that all Christians were priests and that any lay Christian could preach the gospel; during Margery's lifetime women Lollards did in fact spread the gospel in English translation. | | | Before the actively anti-Lollard Archbishop of York, she expressed a Lollard-like confidence in her ability to interpret the Bible (note that the clerics respond that she is possessed), and refuses to swear an oath (again Lollard-like). | | | She regularly engaged in practices that the Lollards abhorred, including fasting, confession, pilgrimages, and the use of images in worship. |

| | Draf out of my Fest: Chaucer and the Lollards |
| | The Lollards in anticipation of the Puritans of the following two centuries argued that the presence of artificial images in the church both imposed erroneous ideas on the imagination of the laity14 and distracted from the focus of the inward wits on the truth of scripture. | | | In condemning the fables of the friars as destructive of true Christian faith, the Lollards implied a condemnation of all non-scriptural texts as incapable of the conferring of spiritual edification. | | | The questions of the worship of images and the practice of pilgrimages are always spoken of together in Lollard texts, and are part of a continuous discourse running from the eighth century iconoclastic controversy of the eastern church through the Puritan reformation of the seventeenth century. |

| | This strong law-gospel contrast is Lutheran, and it stands opposed to the Lollard emphasis on the overarching unity of the Bible as “God’s law.” | | | It may be argued that by incorporating Luther’s central insight on the priority of the gospel, and by moving beyond Luther’s rejection of the Law, Tyndale’s theology linked with older emphases and laid a new groundwork in England for what would gradually emerge as Puritanism. | | | One significant development for which we find evidence is the linking up of the remaining Lollards and Lollard-sympathizers with the Lutherans, a class-breaching linkage facilitated by Tyndale’s superb English translation. |
