Which ideas of John Wycliffe did Jan Hus reject?
While Jan Hus was significantly influenced by the theological writings of John Wycliffe, he did not adopt all of the Englishman's radical views. Specifically, Hus rejected Wycliffeās tenet of remanenceāthe belief that the bread and wine in the Eucharist retain their material substance after consecration.12
Although some members of the Bohemian reform party, such as Stanislav of Znojmo and Å tÄpĆ”n PĆ”leÄ, supported Wycliffeās views on remanence, Hus maintained a more moderate position on this doctrine. Despite this disagreement, Hus remained committed to other Wycliffite principles, including the advocacy for biblical authority over that of the church and the necessity of reforming the Roman Catholic clergy. At the Council of Constance, Hus refused to disavow Wycliffe entirely, insisting that he would only retract his views if they were proven erroneous by Holy Writ.2314
