Thanks Ryan. I’ve been to Prague. My ancestry is Polish/Czech and I was raised American Catholic. The sacraments and parochial education did nothing to counter my slavery to sin growing up. By grace and mercy, the Risen Lord Jesus Christ supernaturally intervened October 1969, and I became a born-again (regenerate) Christian. Being generally illiterate of the Bible and Church History, the Spirit of the Lord (John 14:26) gave me a deep hunger for theology, philosophy, and Church History.
Dan Smedra, I praise God for your deliverance from the false church of your youth. The Apostle Paul warned the Church about the false church to come in 1 Timothy chapter 4. Jan Hus is a true martyr. We are privileged to live after the Reformation in an era when we can have easy access to the truth, but still many remain in darkness.

A minor correction, you said Bavaria as an area of today's Czech Republic. The name for the area is Bohemia, and Bavaria is a part of Germany much to the southwest of Bohemia. Modern Czech Republic comprises the areas of Bohemia and Moravia.
Yeah, Other way not so bad for westerner. I think there were two glorious part of history for Czechs in history Husites interesting is that they escape after 1620 final battle vs. Catholic church to America and native Americans on east coast have morning star symbol as own because the only Europe migrants treat the native people as equal that's why they took husite symbol as own. Other part was WWI 350 000 Czechoslovak Americans were fighting on western front two years before the America enter the conflict. No mention glorious Journey of Czechoslovak legion in Russian Siberia ending at Boston Harbor please look in to it..........god bless America and all open-minded people
The late-antique Bajuvars (Bavarians) are sometimes etymologically bound to Beheim/Böhmen (Bohemia) - their name thus translates as "Those, who came from Bohemia". Although this interpretation is not proven yet, one might excuse the confusion of Bavaria and Bohemia. In the time of Jan Hus, the Kingdom of Bohemia was under the rule of the Luxemburg Dynasty, which may be seen as not that much 'german', as it appears.
Armand Augustin Louis de Caulaincourt Right: Bavaria has always been part of Germany. Mistaking "Bavaria" for "Bohemia" is no small mistake, especially coming from a historian.
Thank you Jan Hus I was born again in 30 years ago All my sins have been washed away with the blood of Jesus Christ forever So I became righteous as white as snow forever So I have no sin forever So I go to Heaven Hallelujah !!! I am korean Not with the blood of goats and calves but with His own blood , He entered The Most Holy Place once for all , having obtained eternal redemption ㅡHebrews 9:12
full stop @ 17:20, your comment about the wine/cup in catholic communion is incorrect. since vatican II, mid 1960s, both wafer & cup are available to laity.
Good for them, it only took them several wars, a massive Reformation, and a near-complete loss of political power to do so after several hundred years. How forward-thinking of them!
Yours is a theory that is in reality not accurate. Go to most Masses and you will see that the wafer is all that is available to the laity. Are you a Papist?
@@joeiiiful yours is a comment that belies what i have seen since the 60s. the only reason that some churches choose not to offer has nothing to do with church doctrine and everything to do with state liquor laws, or a pastor simply does not want to bother with the handling, storing, and/or expense of an alcoholic product. are you a heretic? stupid? there is no third option.
@@burgeryoufoundbehindthegrill wars are fought by two or more opponents. for a reason. and that near-complete loss of political power, just, didn't, happen, now did it? so, we'll share that. happy you got some? and yes, we have plunged head long into the 19th century.
thank you professor! your videos...lectures are awesome! I'm in seminary and use your lectures to further bolster my knowledge of church history! God bless you!
its very nice to hear that, im myself a catholic and im interested in this kind of stuff to, i respect Luther, Hus, but its sad that the church was very shattered.
I walked by that beautiful statue many times when I visited Prague but I never knew it's story or significance. That's the wonderful and mysterious thing about history. Whether it be statues or buildings, documents or artifacts, even common words or place names, all of them potential trail heads to intriguing stories. How many have I missed?! Shouldn't Siri or Googlemaps be telling my about all this whenever I walk by a place of historical significance? Of course my phone would be buzzing every 10 feet, haha.
Another correction: I grew up, and still am, Catholic. Receiving both bread and wine as part of the Eucharist was pretty common practice, and still is in some places. It became common after Vatican II, and has somewhat declined since Covid-19. However it's not a part of formal Catholic doctrine that the Chalice is reserved only for the priest. That just became the common practice in most places, for practical reasons primarily.
@@Bbos2383 bible does not say anything about drinking from the cup every sunday. So since every catholic drinks from the cup at least once in your lifetime, it cover what the bible says. And one of the practical reasons are how can we let people drink from the cup and control how much they sip? Because its the same cup from the whole church. Another good one is, what if some of the precious blood of christ is dropped? How should we proceed?
Jan Hus was brilliant and popular teacher. Czech language reformed by him is still used today. Of course he was burned, he was incredibly popular (plus brave and educated) thus very dangerous.
I studied Czech in university but did not learn about Hus until much later when I became a student of theology and church history. It seems to me that it took several hundred years for the Reformation to unfold, for all the major Catholic errors to be stripped away, with believers baptism (not infants) being one of the last corrections to be made.
We're thankful to all of you for making available such a great and unexpected as well as video of John Hus. May God bless you and use you miraculously in these last days.
Oh, Hus' words "today you roast a goose, but there will come the swan that you cannot cook", make a lot more sense now that I know his name means goose.
Yeah the bit cut off is that he is "a forerunner to the Reformation itself'. This was, I think, the first video I ever made (or one of the early 3) and I had not yet started adding 'Further Reading' at the end. So thankfully you only missed essentially one word on the end of the lecture. :)
The only time I know that wine was not offered to the laypeople at Mass was during the AIDS epidemic. Otherwise, I've always known it to be offered and so did my parents.
@@noelyanes2455 Is it anything like Orthodox liturgies where they dip the bread in the wine? Of course, the Orthodox leaven their bread, so it actually absorbs the liquid. So there's that.
@@James_Wisniewski that’s called intinction. Some parishes of the Roman rite do it but it’s up to whatever the priest prefers. In the Tridentine Mass however, the cup is withheld primarily because of the historic heresy of Jan Hus. You see, it’s not mentioned in the video, but Jan Hus believed that in order for one to be saved, you have to receive both the body and blood of Christ. The Catholic Church refuted this at the council of Trent by defining both species as containing the full was of Christ’s body, blood, soul and divinity. To argue that you need both implies the heresy of partialism.
The picture of a defenestration (31:47) is not the fist prague defenestration 1419, but the second prague defenestration 1618, which was, by the way, the very begin of the 30years war.
31:30 is it not the case that a Wycliffe-Hus-Luther triplet is the proper way to read the history from the point of view of the Protestant general view being based upon the words of the sacred text in possession of all in their own language as against these words withheld from all by an elite who only parcelled them out in a foreign (Latin) language and who established their authority mainly upon the basis of ecclesiastical tradition?
Thanks for this excellent an to-the-point retelling of the Jan Hus story. Somehow, despite the further protestant movements and division, Europe is to this day inclined to view Jan Hus and Husité as heretics and in general evil-doers. It is very refreshing to hear the opinion of an American, who apparently has no prejudices on the subject. Just one little note: Táborité certainly were the most extreme faction of Husité and your description was mostly correct, nevertheless free love was very likely not common amongst them. It was preached and practised by just a small faction of Táborité, called Adamité and they were soon expelled from Tábor and later on, as they made their living by raiding nearby villages, Jan Žižka himself called a little campaign to put them down.
The movement is connected to both. The founders of the city chose to call it "Thabor" because they were inspired by this biblical passage: "And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?" (Judges 4:6; KJV)
I’ve read through the works of the apostles and prophets of this man, Jesus of Nazerath, the one called, “Christ,” and I do not see anything called, “Protestant,” nothing about a, “Catholic,,” I hear much about “Christ,” and I am told that those who follow Him will be called, “Christians,” and that they will all be one, under one God, who had one teaching, for one people. A Protestant, a Catholic, those things are not from God, those are divisions in the church and God says have nothing to do with them. Let us be called, “Christian,” and put no other name before that one or after that one.
Well no, Catholic just means Universal. As the faith is not beholden to any one nation or people. This was used by the early Church in response to Roman Pagans and Jews who thought God was tribal. Saint Ignatius of Antioch 110 A.D. not even a century after Christ's Resurrection: “Wherever the bishop shall appear, let the multitude of also be, just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the catholic [i.e., universal] church. It is not lawful either to baptize or to celebrate a love feast without the bishop, but whatever he approves of, that is also pleasing to God.” The Catholic Church is the One Church founded by Christ.
@@Patriarch.Chadimus This is the delusion that caused this Church to do all its wickedness, including slavery. The Dragon/Satan is the real leader of the Catholic Church, though there are true Christians caught in its web for now. See Revelations 13 and let the Holy Spirit reveal the Truth here.
@@Patriarch.Chadimus ah yes. But many bare the name catholic, and many are universally open to all without baring the name. Are you refering to the Roman Catholic Chruch? Or The Othrodox Catholic Chruch? Or perhaps there is something else missing...
Very interesting video about the life of Jan Hus. In addition to the correction about Husinec being located in the Kingdom of Bohemia at that time, rather than Bavaria (in what is now Germany), at 5:20 where it says “Dominate voice is German,” it should be spelled “Dominant”. “Dominant” is an adjective and “dominate” is a verb.
Thanks for this, as I am studying background material for a Hus pilgrimage during my conference presentation this August in the Protestant Theological faculty of the Charles University in Prague where Hus was Rector.
+Ryan Reeves Thanks! I'm doing some "reforming" myself, saying that, in the Luke 10 parable, Jesus is teaching that Samaritans are fellow Israelites to Judaean Israelites (and so he doesn't universalize the Second Great Commandment) www.socsam.org/news?10
17:06 interesting moment - in the early part of the first century the wine was withheld from the jewish laity and women and gentiles. Jesus’ liturgical revolution consisted precisely in the extending of wine and participation in the sacred meal to excluded classes and also in resisting the idea of automatic holiness by office and this as a possession of right by priestly classes. Jan Hus appears to be right on the ball here.
Calvinism is pagan and disgusting, and in total error. Im protestant, and most views lean lutheran, yet i am synergistic in my beliefs. Monergism has plagued the church thanks to you "reformers"
@@bradenglass4753 follow Christ and abandon those things. Be ye Christian, see what the Christ will show you when you wake up, forgiven of all wickedness.
Correction as to Purgatory,... Purgatory is not a place to work your way out of, it is a place of Purification so as t0 achieve the holiness necessary to enter heaven (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1030-1032). Think of it as a Dishwasher and you are the plate, you scrape the plate then wash the dish before putting it in the Heavenly Cabinet (Gus Lloyd) Also Faith without works is dead (James 2:17)
Fun fact: The Bethelem chapel you can visit today is actually almost completely different building than the original chapel Jan Hus prached in. The original chapel served many other religious purposes over the centuries and in the 18th century it was in such a bad shape that it became abandoned and soon only its circumfering walls remained. It was actually used as a wood storage for a few decades and around half of the 19th century a residential house was built in its place only using parts of the original walls. The chapel got attention again in 1915, on the 500th anniversary of the death of Jan Hus, when an archeological research was done at the site, finding remains of the original building buried inside the structure of the residential house. The chapel was then rebuilt in 1952, partly because the communist regime recognised husites as the only legitimate church in Czechoslovakia - probobly because of the "socialist" practices of radical husites in the 15th century.
Although I am no longer Catholic I have had wine in the Eucharist. The documentary is wrong in saying the Catholic Church only allows the select to partake
My friend only nobles were allowed and poor people only had to pay tributes. Not even able to read bible it was forbidden by Catholic church. Church of pope was actually very similar to Islam slave trade etc. Hunger for money pervert interest and power
@@mateokarlvonpavlovic8295 well not to be disrespectful but its because I read the bible many times and it sems to say things a little different then what the Catholic church teaches. however I have learned more that is really scary. research the popes red shoes.
@@WayofJesusOCC well I respect your belief its ok im a catholic and im Just happy for you that you believe in Jesus Christ. And other things doesnt matter at all. I respecr all christian denomination. I only think that mormonism is big Shame and also diversity is the biggest Shame for christianity. I resoect Martin luther, Jan Huss And they were right about what they said corruption etc. Just New church was neccesary. And I dont agree with his thoughts on saints, becuse catholics dont worship saints they Just have them for image, paying to them is meccesary buf it isnt wrong for me. he was right that we should read a Bible in our own language.
He mingles the Taborites with the Pikardes (their radical fringe). The Taborites did not practice free love and they were not crazy (but they were indeed communists).
The Taborites were sometimes really strange (like the Adamites' fraction who were walking around naked like Adam did in paradise), but to call them communists is definitely not accurate, because in the 15th century there was no class system like in the 19th century and one of the pillars of communism is the class struggle. Apart from that, thank you for this great video about one of our most important historical personalities!
I'd say they were more of an apocalyptic movement, ready and waiting for the kingdom of heaven - simply religious fanatics (with a tint of peasant revolt against the nobility and merchants)
Actually not 100% correct. Since 9th cent. there was teaching about 3 classes. You rule, you pray, you work. Means ruler is for ruling, priest for faith and peasant for work. Period. And this was the first time since 9th cent when this teaching was challenged...
I've listened to this lecture twice and I'd like to point out two things (2021). The 4th Lateran Council's definition of transubstantiation declared that to receive under one species (bread or wine) is to receive the whole Christ. Given this declaration was made before the Black Death (1347-1331), it made possible the administration of Extreme Unction--a.k.a. Anointing of the Sick to plague victims. It has also permitted great consolation to the faithful who receive communion during the Covid pandemic. As the Lord's Supper is celebrated less frequently among Protestant communions, it has been no concern during Covid about celebrating the sacrament/ordinance--renewing the NT covenant as much as it is for Catholics and Orthodox. Secondly, many Catholic and Orthodox parishes had been receiving communion under both species as they are encouraged to do this as often as possible since the Second Vatican council or earlier as is the case with the Orthodox church. Studies were actually done on the health aspects of sharing a common cup in many of the bishop conferences during Covid under guidance from the Prefect for the Office of Worship as was reception on the tongue vs. the hand as both are permissible in the Novus Ordo. I have appreciated this course as a compliment to the Church history I received while growing up and in college and am now sharing with my teenage son.
I think what most of us learned from the COVID debacle is science is not some apolitical field that never considers it's own self interests. Many of us who are scientists, and not delusional, know this already but it took something like COVID to really bring it home to people.
Nick Needham says that Richard II (of England) married the sister of the king of Bohemia and so Czech students came to Oxford and took back Wycliffe's teachings.
The Latin mass withholds the cup. But in the Catholic Church there is nothing wrong with that because it was defined at the council of Trent that both species contain the fullness of Jesus’ body, blood, soul, and divinity.
The largest lack in this is the 4 Articles of Prague. Freedom to preach the Word of God. Freedom of the communion of the chalice (under both kinds also to laity). Exclusion of the clergy from large temporal possessions or civil authority. Strict repression and punishment of mortal public sins, whether in clergy or in laity. Essentially the Church sent in FIVE crusades to defend their ability to own large temporal possessions and avoid being held accountable for sins of the clergy. Biggest Apologia was the fact that the Burghers of Prague were openly mocking and throwing rocks at a Hussite Procession which lead to the First Defenestration of Prague.
Well, the Bethlehem Chapel as seen today is just a modern reconstruction and not even very authentic one. The original building fell into disrepair and was torn down in late 18th century. The chapel was reconstructed (more of a "best guess" than a historically accurate recontruction) in 1950s by the state. (The newly etablished communist regime used the Hussite movement as an example of national proletariat revolution, albeit a religious one, the argument being that mediaval proletariat was not yet aware that there is no God and religion is "the opium of the people".*) *Marx
I was taught in Catholic schools that the cup wasn't shared due to hygienic reasons. On the other hand, the Orthodox (who also believe in transubstantiation) address this issue by offering both elements mixed together with a spoon that doesn't touch the communicant's lips.
+DCCuban You made a small error about the Orthodox. Orthodox lay people receive the Holy Eucharist by intinction. The Consecrated Bread (called the Lamb) is put into the Chalice with the Consecrated Wine. The priest communes the people from the Chalice using a golden spoon. The spoon does indeed touch the communicants mouth. It is inserted into the communicants mouth by the priest. It goes straight into our mouth like someone taking cough medicine. There is no fear or concern about hygenie here amongst the Orthodox. In large Orthodox churches I have seen a single communion spoon used to commune several hundred people and it goes inside everyones mouth that communes. There is no fear or paranoia in the Orthodox Church about germs and the Holy Eucharist. The only people I have ever seen that do not want the spoon to touch anybodys mouth are Eastern Rite Catholics of the Byzantine Rite (and only American ones at that.) Somehow I doubt that fear of germs is a great concern in the Old Country and I imagine that Ukrainian Catholics of the Eastern Rite in Ukraine have little to no fear of the communion spoon touching someones mouth. That is a purely modernist concern and fear.
Tracy Griffin yes, very true, I think most Americans have become germophobes! Intinction is sometimes done in the Latin Rite as well - the priest dips the consecrated host into the consecrated wine before placing it in the communicants mouth. It's not the common custom in most parishes, but I wish it were, because I think I'd prefer intinction.
Dear Professor Reeves, I was not able to find any quote from the Leipzig Disputations that approached the quote you attribute to Martin Luther: "Ja, ich bin Hussite." I believe that the Leipzig Disputation was conducted mostly in Latin, not German. This is the source that I used is Full text of "The Leipzig debate in 1519 : leaves from the story of Luther's life" on the Internet Arcive. However, that source says that the full text is actually found in: Seidemann, Die Leipziger Disputation im Jahre 1519 I have seen this quote repeated in several places online, but, if possible, can you please point me to the source that presents evidence that Luther said "Ja, ich bin Hussite," or something similar, in either German or Latin, during the Leipzig Debates or at some other point of time, such as, perhaps, in one of his letters to the Bohemians? Kind regards, Hugh Kelly
26:23 I thought that one of the remarkable things about the defenestration incident was that those thrown out of the window mainly survived - principally by reason of the the midden-heap being sufficiently thick and soft enough to break the fall of those thrown out. Were mobs involved?
The survivals were during the 2nd defenestration in 1620 - the first one in 1418 was completed succesfully and mobs took part as they should. but the picture in movie is wrong. They have chosen the picture of the 2nd defenestration.
An interesting insight that Luther was not just a theologian but a politician and used politics to further his ends at the start of the Reformation as well as at the end
The 'cup' at the catholic mass is available to the people. This was one of the changes at the second Vatican council.The catholic church teaches that Christ is present body, blood, soul and divinity in the consecrated host, also the same for the precious blood, therefore offering the host only to the people does not hold anything of Christ back from the faithful. Their are exceptions, on holding the 'duo's back in the new rite, such as at mass with a very large congregation such a papal mass outside, or if the priest is celebrating the old Latin rite.
On your comment on the laity not getting the wine; this is not entirely true as they will often dip the wafer in the wine for the laity if they are receiving on the tongue as well as drink from the cup during a smaller mass. At least this has been my experience.
Probably you guys are all concerned about western Catholicism. I'm from Afrika and was raised catholic, hell no way a laity would taste the wine only reserved for the priest and I believe is the same to a lot of so called third world, developping countries to this very day. Actually, I was taught that even the host and the wine had to be imported from Western Europe precisely Italy to be considered pure and holy.
Hebrews 12:1" Therefore, since we're surrounded with such a great host of witnesses, let us distant ourselves from those things(man's traditions, cultures, cult of worship,etc) that hinder us from....
@@ventiankraus777 A "lay" Roman Catholic is any Catholic man who is NOT a Priest, or any Catholic woman who is NOT a Nun. So basically, as a Catholic (Eastern Orthodox have this concept too, not just Roman), it means either a non-Priest or a non-Nun depending on your sex. What I meant is simply, the rest of the congregation comprised thereof.
The Catholic churches I've been brought up in in Australia and Ireland (not a practicing Catholic anymore) anyone who has had first holy communion gets both the wafer and the wine and anyone who hasn't is supposed to just cross their arms across their chest and get a blessing. Anyone who can get the wafer can gen get the wine. a non negligible portion only take the wafer but I've never seen or heard of someone only being allowed one but not the other.
Ya becuz you live in 2023. But for hundreds of years up until the 20th century the Roman Catholic church did not offer both the bread and the wine. Thus the reformers were right and the Catholic church was wrong and has since reformed itself, all be it hundreds of years too late.
love your lectures but--correction, there are no restrictions on who gets the wafer vs the wine in Catholic masses these days. both are offered. source: I am a Catholic
“Hey look, Henry has come to see us!” I first heard of Jan His in the game “Kingdom Come: Deliverance”. A medieval game set in 1403 Bohemia… but I’ve gone to church my whole life, why is that? 🤔
The chalice (not "cup") is NOT reserved only for the clergy. It is absolutely at every novus ordo Mass offered to the laity. And it isn't a "wafer" or bread, but the consecrated host, or Eucharist. Even with the debate on the Eucharist, of referring to the Catholic practice and belief, saying "the priest only offers the wafer to the laity" is confusing, as the priest himself would say he's offering the consecrated host.
Dr Reeves - Bavaria (which Munich is(was) in, or Bohemia? I think you meant to say Bohemia early on in this lecture. :) This was great, I look forward to hearing your other lectures, thank you.
A minor correction: The Taborites take their name from the small Czech town of "Tábor", just 100 km away from Prague where they first gathered. Their military leader was Jan Zizka, a native of the area.
@@chiachiachia100 there's a Mount Tabor here in England too near Halifax in West Yorkshire - many places throughout Europe are named after places in The Bible.

Let’s be fair about the complete and specific description of the mechanism of an “indulgence”. Let’s look at it as it is, alone, without the politics and scandal that stirred around them. The donation or payment for an indulgence is only one part of what it consists of. There are many challenging “fine print’ contingencies that go with the effecting of the desired indulgence. Here’s a brief description. Ryan knows these things but presents his historical data with other areas of emphasis: “Plenary indulgence: "It is necessary to perform the work to which the indulgence is attached and to fulfill three conditions: sacramental confession, eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the intentions of the supreme pontiff. It is further required that all attachment to sin, even to venial sin, be absent". Fulfilling a Plenary indulgence on the part of most persons, laymen and clergy alike, is a VERY TALL ORDER that requires a re-committment to faith in Christ to the highest degree. 1. First a full Sacramental Confession where the individual, after a thorough examination of conscience and one’s life, confesses to Christ through His priest, all his sins, both grave (mortal) and venial (sin less serious than that deserving eternal condemnation. This also entails performing the penance assigned by the priest. In those time they could be more stringent than what is typically required in our time. You can investigate that on your own. And no, it didn’t involve draconian torture scenarios like many are wont to jump to as the conclusion. 2. The reception of Eucharistic Communion at the Holy Mass. This meant the obligatory fasting from the night before reception and that the individual would have remained in the “state of grace” obtained from his prior sacramental confession. Abother words, the penance would have been performed and no serious sin committed from that time to the reception of the Eucharist. This is still the case, although the laxity and lack of good catechesis does not reflect this necessary premise well in msny cases these days. 3. This is the biggest challenge in obtaining the plenary indulgence and it’s difficult to say how aware of this stipulation people were in the time of Huss and even now. Namely that it’s “required that all attachment to sin, even to venial sin, be absent". Try that one on for size sometime. You must reject and discipline yourself from even the inclinations toward the ‘sins of the flesh’, overeating, excessive comfort, of not giving to the poor, money, power, etc.”. It a long list, to be sure. Even “venial sin” means giving in to even slight bits of concupiscience or attractions to any type of sin. In all, I’m laying out the full obligatory requirements of a Plenary Indulgence. To make it clear that no pope or anyone else was handing out “get out of jail free (or for a fee) passes. Far from it. If an individual were to be successful in obtaining that indulgence, they’d be well on their way straight to heaven for leading such exemplary lives following the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ. I hope this makes more sense of what an “Indulgence” actually is.
The chalice for the laity was restored in 1963, this is out of date.The chalice was withdrawn part because of some spillage and part because of the plagues.
Eric Metaxas book on ML doesn’t support the so called “Ich bin ein Hussite.” Metaxas wrote that some Hussites sent a note to Luther along with the gift of knives and pamphlet and Luther at first didn’t want to be associated with them but then he read the pamphlet and realized that Jan Hus was accurate and in agreement
The cruelty of the Roman Catholic Church is evidenced in the treatment of Jan Hus. Pope John Paul II made an effort to make amends by regretting his cruel treatment. This was disgraceful response. Hus was a beautiful human and is in the presence of God praising Jesus who he loved. His condemners in contrast are burning in hell right now.
Matthew 26:26-29 NASB While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." [27] And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you; [28] for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins. [29] But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."
I disagree with your notion or belief that the plenary indulgence was what sins have done to the Catholic Church, rather what the effects of sins have done and what is owed to God, not the Church.
I was raised Catholic and the laity Drank the Wine in every Racine WI Catholic Church I ever attended. I recall sipping it many times. "Free Love" Communism and Anarchy are entirely Biblical. A little know fact about Jeanne d'Arc is that she condemned the Hussites. Which doesn't bode well for Shaw's theory that she was a proto Protastant.
+Cory Irwin // Yes you can since Vatican II in the 1960s. We live in an intersting time in history where people are still alive who remember both ways.

Other part was WWI 350 000 Czechoslovak Americans were fighting on western front two years before the America enter the conflict. No mention glorious Journey of Czechoslovak legion in Russian Siberia ending at Boston Harbor please look in to it..........god bless America and all open-minded people
The late-antique Bajuvars (Bavarians) are sometimes etymologically bound to Beheim/Böhmen (Bohemia) - their name thus translates as "Those, who came from Bohemia". Although this interpretation is not proven yet, one might excuse the confusion of Bavaria and Bohemia. In the time of Jan Hus, the Kingdom of Bohemia was under the rule of the Luxemburg Dynasty, which may be seen as not that much 'german', as it appears.
Armand Augustin Louis de Caulaincourt Right: Bavaria has always been part of Germany. Mistaking "Bavaria" for "Bohemia" is no small mistake, especially coming from a historian.

Small correction: 25:57 "Defenestration".
full stop @ 17:20, your comment about the wine/cup in catholic communion is incorrect. since vatican II, mid 1960s, both wafer & cup are available to laity.
Thank you. Was about to make the same point.
Good for them, it only took them several wars, a massive Reformation, and a near-complete loss of political power to do so after several hundred years. How forward-thinking of them!
Yours is a theory that is in reality not accurate. Go to most Masses and you will see that the wafer is all that is available to the laity. Are you a Papist?
@@joeiiiful yours is a comment that belies what i have seen since the 60s. the only reason that some churches choose not to offer has nothing to do with church doctrine and everything to do with state liquor laws, or a pastor simply does not want to bother with the handling, storing, and/or expense of an alcoholic product. are you a heretic? stupid? there is no third option.

We have in common that 7 crusades were sent to Bohemia against Hussites (and all failed terribly).
@@noldo3837 the crusades in the Middle East were successful.
its very nice to hear that, im myself a catholic and im interested in this kind of stuff to, i respect Luther, Hus, but its sad that the church was very shattered.
I walked by that beautiful statue many times when I visited Prague but I never knew it's story or significance. That's the wonderful and mysterious thing about history. Whether it be statues or buildings, documents or artifacts, even common words or place names, all of them potential trail heads to intriguing stories. How many have I missed?!
Shouldn't Siri or Googlemaps be telling my about all this whenever I walk by a place of historical significance? Of course my phone would be buzzing every 10 feet, haha.
Most people prefer ignorance. When you see an interesting statue or landmark, simply look it up on your phone.
Another correction: I grew up, and still am, Catholic. Receiving both bread and wine as part of the Eucharist was pretty common practice, and still is in some places. It became common after Vatican II, and has somewhat declined since Covid-19. However it's not a part of formal Catholic doctrine that the Chalice is reserved only for the priest. That just became the common practice in most places, for practical reasons primarily.
Explain those practical reasons please. Explain why witholding the blood of christ in 2023 from the laity is at all practical and biblical.
@@Bbos2383 bible does not say anything about drinking from the cup every sunday. So since every catholic drinks from the cup at least once in your lifetime, it cover what the bible says. And one of the practical reasons are how can we let people drink from the cup and control how much they sip? Because its the same cup from the whole church. Another good one is, what if some of the precious blood of christ is dropped? How should we proceed?
The practicing of with holding the chalice during the Eucharist depends upon the bishop's decision, NOT the parish priest.
@@Bbos2383Biblical? The practicality is the spread of infection. Hostile much?
Jan Hus was brilliant and popular teacher. Czech language reformed by him is still used today. Of course he was burned, he was incredibly popular (plus brave and educated) thus very dangerous.
I studied Czech in university but did not learn about Hus until much later when I became a student of theology and church history. It seems to me that it took several hundred years for the Reformation to unfold, for all the major Catholic errors to be stripped away, with believers baptism (not infants) being one of the last corrections to be made.
Jan Hus risked splitting European christian union when Islam was very strong and a threat to Europe.
We're thankful to all of you for making available such a great and unexpected as well as video of John Hus. May God bless you and use you miraculously in these last days.
Oh, Hus' words "today you roast a goose, but there will come the swan that you cannot cook", make a lot more sense now that I know his name means goose.
I didn't know that. Fascinating.
Really enjoyed this lecture - always heard about Jan Hus but never knew the details behind his story...
This one runs out at the end - only partial recording or upload.
Yeah the bit cut off is that he is "a forerunner to the Reformation itself'. This was, I think, the first video I ever made (or one of the early 3) and I had not yet started adding 'Further Reading' at the end. So thankfully you only missed essentially one word on the end of the lecture. :)

I was raised Catholic, and we always received the wine during Communion as well as the bread.
The only time I know that wine was not offered to the laypeople at Mass was during the AIDS epidemic. Otherwise, I've always known it to be offered and so did my parents.
The wine is not given to The laity in the Tridentine Mass
@@noelyanes2455 Is it anything like Orthodox liturgies where they dip the bread in the wine? Of course, the Orthodox leaven their bread, so it actually absorbs the liquid. So there's that.
@@James_Wisniewski that’s called intinction. Some parishes of the Roman rite do it but it’s up to whatever the priest prefers. In the Tridentine Mass however, the cup is withheld primarily because of the historic heresy of Jan Hus. You see, it’s not mentioned in the video, but Jan Hus believed that in order for one to be saved, you have to receive both the body and blood of Christ. The Catholic Church refuted this at the council of Trent by defining both species as containing the full was of Christ’s body, blood, soul and divinity. To argue that you need both implies the heresy of partialism.
@@noelyanes2455 This is their error and possibly a shism.
The picture of a defenestration (31:47) is not the fist prague defenestration 1419, but the second prague defenestration 1618, which was, by the way, the very begin of the 30years war.
Actually the picture is of third Prague Defenestration. Second was in between 1483. A local protestant tradition.
31:30 is it not the case that a Wycliffe-Hus-Luther triplet is the proper way to read the history from the point of view of the Protestant general view being based upon the words of the sacred text in possession of all in their own language as against these words withheld from all by an elite who only parcelled them out in a foreign (Latin) language and who established their authority mainly upon the basis of ecclesiastical tradition?
Thanks for this excellent an to-the-point retelling of the Jan Hus story. Somehow, despite the further protestant movements and division, Europe is to this day inclined to view Jan Hus and Husité as heretics and in general evil-doers.
It is very refreshing to hear the opinion of an American, who apparently has no prejudices on the subject.
Just one little note: Táborité certainly were the most extreme faction of Husité and your description was mostly correct, nevertheless free love was very likely not common amongst them. It was preached and practised by just a small faction of Táborité, called Adamité and they were soon expelled from Tábor and later on, as they made their living by raiding nearby villages, Jan Žižka himself called a little campaign to put them down.
I would just add that Taborite is connected to Czech city Tabor, not to mount Tabor in Israel as it is mentioned in video.
The movement is connected to both. The founders of the city chose to call it "Thabor" because they were inspired by this biblical passage: "And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?" (Judges 4:6; KJV)
Correction 0:59 Area of BOHEMIA, not Bavaria
I’ve read through the works of the apostles and prophets of this man, Jesus of Nazerath, the one called, “Christ,” and I do not see anything called, “Protestant,” nothing about a, “Catholic,,” I hear much about “Christ,” and I am told that those who follow Him will be called, “Christians,” and that they will all be one, under one God, who had one teaching, for one people.
A Protestant, a Catholic, those things are not from God, those are divisions in the church and God says have nothing to do with them.
Let us be called, “Christian,” and put no other name before that one or after that one.
Well no, Catholic just means Universal. As the faith is not beholden to any one nation or people. This was used by the early Church in response to Roman Pagans and Jews who thought God was tribal.
Saint Ignatius of Antioch 110 A.D. not even a century after Christ's Resurrection:
“Wherever the bishop shall appear, let the multitude of also be, just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the catholic [i.e., universal] church. It is not lawful either to baptize or to celebrate a love feast without the bishop, but whatever he approves of, that is also pleasing to God.”
The Catholic Church is the One Church founded by Christ.
Forgot to include this but Catholic comes from the Greek Catholikos which literally means Universal
@@Patriarch.Chadimus This is the delusion that caused this Church to do all its wickedness, including slavery. The Dragon/Satan is the real leader of the Catholic Church, though there are true Christians caught in its web for now. See Revelations 13 and let the Holy Spirit reveal the Truth here.
@@Patriarch.Chadimus ah yes. But many bare the name catholic, and many are universally open to all without baring the name. Are you refering to the Roman Catholic Chruch? Or The Othrodox Catholic Chruch? Or perhaps there is something else missing...
Very interesting video about the life of Jan Hus.
In addition to the correction about Husinec being located in the Kingdom of Bohemia at that time, rather than Bavaria (in what is now Germany), at 5:20 where it says “Dominate voice is German,” it should be spelled “Dominant”.
“Dominant” is an adjective and “dominate” is a verb.
Thanks for this, as I am studying background material for a Hus pilgrimage during my conference presentation this August in the Protestant Theological faculty of the Charles University in Prague where Hus was Rector.
+olorin3k // Awesome! Hope it goes well.
+Ryan Reeves Thanks! I'm doing some "reforming" myself, saying that, in the Luke 10 parable, Jesus is teaching that Samaritans are fellow Israelites to Judaean Israelites (and so he doesn't universalize the Second Great Commandment) www.socsam.org/news?10
17:06 interesting moment - in the early part of the first century the wine was withheld from the jewish laity and women and gentiles. Jesus’ liturgical revolution consisted precisely in the extending of wine and participation in the sacred meal to excluded classes and also in resisting the idea of automatic holiness by office and this as a possession of right by priestly classes.
Jan Hus appears to be right on the ball here.
Men excluded not Jesus.

Correction as to Purgatory,... Purgatory is not a place to work your way out of, it is a place of Purification so as t0 achieve the holiness necessary to enter heaven (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1030-1032). Think of it as a Dishwasher and you are the plate, you scrape the plate then wash the dish before putting it in the Heavenly Cabinet (Gus Lloyd)
Also Faith without works is dead (James 2:17)
Fun fact:
The Bethelem chapel you can visit today is actually almost completely different building than the original chapel Jan Hus prached in. The original chapel served many other religious purposes over the centuries and in the 18th century it was in such a bad shape that it became abandoned and soon only its circumfering walls remained. It was actually used as a wood storage for a few decades and around half of the 19th century a residential house was built in its place only using parts of the original walls. The chapel got attention again in 1915, on the 500th anniversary of the death of Jan Hus, when an archeological research was done at the site, finding remains of the original building buried inside the structure of the residential house. The chapel was then rebuilt in 1952, partly because the communist regime recognised husites as the only legitimate church in Czechoslovakia - probobly because of the "socialist" practices of radical husites in the 15th century.

He mingles the Taborites with the Pikardes (their radical fringe). The Taborites did not practice free love and they were not crazy (but they were indeed communists).
The Taborites were sometimes really strange (like the Adamites' fraction who were walking around naked like Adam did in paradise), but to call them communists is definitely not accurate, because in the 15th century there was no class system like in the 19th century and one of the pillars of communism is the class struggle. Apart from that, thank you for this great video about one of our most important historical personalities!
more akin to socialism without a state....tribalism.
I'd say they were more of an apocalyptic movement, ready and waiting for the kingdom of heaven - simply religious fanatics (with a tint of peasant revolt against the nobility and merchants)
ZlejChleba thanks for the Czech perspective on this lecture
I guess the early church was also communist/socialist too 🙄
Actually not 100% correct. Since 9th cent. there was teaching about 3 classes. You rule, you pray, you work. Means ruler is for ruling, priest for faith and peasant for work. Period. And this was the first time since 9th cent when this teaching was challenged...
I've listened to this lecture twice and I'd like to point out two things (2021). The 4th Lateran Council's definition of transubstantiation declared that to receive under one species (bread or wine) is to receive the whole Christ. Given this declaration was made before the Black Death (1347-1331), it made possible the administration of Extreme Unction--a.k.a. Anointing of the Sick to plague victims. It has also permitted great consolation to the faithful who receive communion during the Covid pandemic. As the Lord's Supper is celebrated less frequently among Protestant communions, it has been no concern during Covid about celebrating the sacrament/ordinance--renewing the NT covenant as much as it is for Catholics and Orthodox. Secondly, many Catholic and Orthodox parishes had been receiving communion under both species as they are encouraged to do this as often as possible since the Second Vatican council or earlier as is the case with the Orthodox church. Studies were actually done on the health aspects of sharing a common cup in many of the bishop conferences during Covid under guidance from the Prefect for the Office of Worship as was reception on the tongue vs. the hand as both are permissible in the Novus Ordo. I have appreciated this course as a compliment to the Church history I received while growing up and in college and am now sharing with my teenage son.
I think what most of us learned from the COVID debacle is science is not some apolitical field that never considers it's own self interests. Many of us who are scientists, and not delusional, know this already but it took something like COVID to really bring it home to people.
great lecture, I liked! thank you!
Nick Needham says that Richard II (of England) married the sister of the king of Bohemia and so Czech students came to Oxford and took back Wycliffe's teachings.
Did you say with holding the Cup still goes on? because I was raised Catholic and I sipped from the Cup plenty.
The Latin mass withholds the cup. But in the Catholic Church there is nothing wrong with that because it was defined at the council of Trent that both species contain the fullness of Jesus’ body, blood, soul, and divinity.
video seem to cut out at the end :-( GREAT INFO BTw!
The largest lack in this is the 4 Articles of Prague.
Freedom to preach the Word of God.
Freedom of the communion of the chalice (under both kinds also to laity).
Exclusion of the clergy from large temporal possessions or civil authority.
Strict repression and punishment of mortal public sins, whether in clergy or in laity.
Essentially the Church sent in FIVE crusades to defend their ability to own large temporal possessions and avoid being held accountable for sins of the clergy.
Biggest Apologia was the fact that the Burghers of Prague were openly mocking and throwing rocks at a Hussite Procession which lead to the First Defenestration of Prague.
Well, the Bethlehem Chapel as seen today is just a modern reconstruction and not even very authentic one. The original building fell into disrepair and was torn down in late 18th century. The chapel was reconstructed (more of a "best guess" than a historically accurate recontruction) in 1950s by the state. (The newly etablished communist regime used the Hussite movement as an example of national proletariat revolution, albeit a religious one, the argument being that mediaval proletariat was not yet aware that there is no God and religion is "the opium of the people".*)
*Marx
I was taught in Catholic schools that the cup wasn't shared due to hygienic reasons. On the other hand, the Orthodox (who also believe in transubstantiation) address this issue by offering both elements mixed together with a spoon that doesn't touch the communicant's lips.
+DCCuban // Yes that is more modern thinking. You have to know what germs are before you think about hygene! :)
+DCCuban You made a small error about the Orthodox. Orthodox lay people receive the Holy Eucharist by intinction. The Consecrated Bread (called the Lamb) is put into the Chalice with the Consecrated Wine. The priest communes the people from the Chalice using a golden spoon. The spoon does indeed touch the communicants mouth. It is inserted into the communicants mouth by the priest. It goes straight into our mouth like someone taking cough medicine. There is no fear or concern about hygenie here amongst the Orthodox. In large Orthodox churches I have seen a single communion spoon used to commune several hundred people and it goes inside everyones mouth that communes. There is no fear or paranoia in the Orthodox Church about germs and the Holy Eucharist. The only people I have ever seen that do not want the spoon to touch anybodys mouth are Eastern Rite Catholics of the Byzantine Rite (and only American ones at that.) Somehow I doubt that fear of germs is a great concern in the Old Country and I imagine that Ukrainian Catholics of the Eastern Rite in Ukraine have little to no fear of the communion spoon touching someones mouth. That is a purely modernist concern and fear.
Tracy Griffin yes, very true, I think most Americans have become germophobes! Intinction is sometimes done in the Latin Rite as well - the priest dips the consecrated host into the consecrated wine before placing it in the communicants mouth. It's not the common custom in most parishes, but I wish it were, because I think I'd prefer intinction.
Some congregations use individual cups. Sometimes proper mini-chalices sometimes dixie cups.
Dear Professor Reeves,
I was not able to find any quote from the Leipzig Disputations that approached the quote you attribute to Martin Luther: "Ja, ich bin Hussite." I believe that the Leipzig Disputation was conducted mostly in Latin, not German. This is the source that I used is Full text of "The Leipzig debate in 1519 : leaves from the story of Luther's life" on the Internet Arcive.
However, that source says that the full text is actually found in: Seidemann, Die Leipziger Disputation
im Jahre 1519 I have seen this quote repeated in several places online, but, if possible, can you please point me to the source that presents evidence that Luther said "Ja, ich bin Hussite," or something similar, in either German or Latin, during the Leipzig Debates or at some other point of time, such as, perhaps, in one of his letters to the Bohemians?
Kind regards,
Hugh Kelly
26:23 I thought that one of the remarkable things about the defenestration incident was that those thrown out of the window mainly survived - principally by reason of the the midden-heap being sufficiently thick and soft enough to break the fall of those thrown out. Were mobs involved?
The survivals were during the 2nd defenestration in 1620 - the first one in 1418 was completed succesfully and mobs took part as they should. but the picture in movie is wrong. They have chosen the picture of the 2nd defenestration.
Clergy does NOT like to give up power.
Who does?
An interesting insight that Luther was not just a theologian but a politician and used politics to further his ends at the start of the Reformation as well as at the end
The 'cup' at the catholic mass is available to the people. This was one of the changes at the second Vatican council.The catholic church teaches that Christ is present body, blood, soul and divinity in the consecrated host, also the same for the precious blood, therefore offering the host only to the people does not hold anything of Christ back from the faithful. Their are exceptions, on holding the 'duo's back in the new rite, such as at mass with a very large congregation such a papal mass outside, or if the priest is celebrating the old Latin rite.
Michael Phillips or in my parish at least, flu season
Dr. Reeves what reading recommendations do you have for Jan Hus?
On your comment on the laity not getting the wine; this is not entirely true as they will often dip the wafer in the wine for the laity if they are receiving on the tongue as well as drink from the cup during a smaller mass. At least this has been my experience.
Probably you guys are all concerned about western Catholicism. I'm from Afrika and was raised catholic, hell no way a laity would taste the wine only reserved for the priest and I believe is the same to a lot of so called third world, developping countries to this very day. Actually, I was taught that even the host and the wine had to be imported from Western Europe precisely Italy to be considered pure and holy.
Hebrews 12:1" Therefore, since we're surrounded with such a great host of witnesses, let us distant ourselves from those things(man's traditions, cultures, cult of worship,etc) that hinder us from....
Bohemia not Bavaria (min 1.00)
Actually, I became a Roman Catholic in 2010, at the age of 21, and we often do, nowadays, distribute the Precious Blood to the lay congregation.
Not RC, what does the "lay" in "lay congregation" mean?
@@ventiankraus777 A "lay" Roman Catholic is any Catholic man who is NOT a Priest, or any Catholic woman who is NOT a Nun. So basically, as a Catholic (Eastern Orthodox have this concept too, not just Roman), it means either a non-Priest or a non-Nun depending on your sex. What I meant is simply, the rest of the congregation comprised thereof.
'Free love' was more like Adamites think then Taborites as a whole. And even by Taborites they were seen as heretics.
The Catholic churches I've been brought up in in Australia and Ireland (not a practicing Catholic anymore) anyone who has had first holy communion gets both the wafer and the wine and anyone who hasn't is supposed to just cross their arms across their chest and get a blessing. Anyone who can get the wafer can gen get the wine. a non negligible portion only take the wafer but I've never seen or heard of someone only being allowed one but not the other.
That’s because both species are allowed in the Mass of Pope Saint Paul VI. In the Tridentine mass only one species is allowed.
Ya becuz you live in 2023. But for hundreds of years up until the 20th century the Roman Catholic church did not offer both the bread and the wine. Thus the reformers were right and the Catholic church was wrong and has since reformed itself, all be it hundreds of years too late.
"That statue thoughany tourist's don't recongnize it is of Jan Hus" You are right I have been there several times did not know that.
love your lectures but--correction, there are no restrictions on who gets the wafer vs the wine in Catholic masses these days. both are offered. source: I am a Catholic
tru that
“Hey look, Henry has come to see us!”
I first heard of Jan His in the game “Kingdom Come: Deliverance”. A medieval game set in 1403 Bohemia… but I’ve gone to church my whole life, why is that? 🤔
Because His was a heretic.
The chalice (not "cup") is NOT reserved only for the clergy. It is absolutely at every novus ordo Mass offered to the laity. And it isn't a "wafer" or bread, but the consecrated host, or Eucharist. Even with the debate on the Eucharist, of referring to the Catholic practice and belief, saying "the priest only offers the wafer to the laity" is confusing, as the priest himself would say he's offering the consecrated host.
Loved it. Thanks Ryan. Hus is a hero. People go to Prague and touch brass statues on the bridge for a blessing and know nothing about Hus.
Dr Reeves - Bavaria (which Munich is(was) in, or Bohemia? I think you meant to say Bohemia early on in this lecture. :) This was great, I look forward to hearing your other lectures, thank you.
whats strange about true love and redistribution of wealth?
A minor correction: The Taborites take their name from the small Czech town of "Tábor", just 100 km away from Prague where they first gathered. Their military leader was Jan Zizka, a native of the area.
And Tábor was named after Biblical mountain Dabor (Tabor). So quite simmilar.

Thanks for posting. Very good information.
Why the hate on the Taborites? They seem cool enough from your description.
Let’s be fair about the complete and specific description of the mechanism of an “indulgence”. Let’s look at it as it is, alone, without the politics and scandal that stirred around them. The donation or payment for an indulgence is only one part of what it consists of. There are many challenging “fine print’ contingencies that go with the effecting of the desired indulgence. Here’s a brief description. Ryan knows these things but presents his historical data with other areas of emphasis:
“Plenary indulgence: "It is necessary to perform the work to which the indulgence is attached and to fulfill three conditions: sacramental confession, eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the intentions of the supreme pontiff. It is further required that all attachment to sin, even to venial sin, be absent".
Fulfilling a Plenary indulgence on the part of most persons, laymen and clergy alike, is a VERY TALL ORDER that requires a re-committment to faith in Christ to the highest degree.
1. First a full Sacramental Confession where the individual, after a thorough examination of conscience and one’s life, confesses to Christ through His priest, all his sins, both grave (mortal) and venial (sin less serious than that deserving eternal condemnation. This also entails performing the penance assigned by the priest. In those time they could be more stringent than what is typically required in our time. You can investigate that on your own. And no, it didn’t involve draconian torture scenarios like many are wont to jump to as the conclusion.
2. The reception of Eucharistic Communion at the Holy Mass. This meant the obligatory fasting from the night before reception and that the individual would have remained in the “state of grace” obtained from his prior sacramental confession. Abother words, the penance would have been performed and no serious sin committed from that time to the reception of the Eucharist. This is still the case, although the laxity and lack of good catechesis does not reflect this necessary premise well in msny cases these days.
3. This is the biggest challenge in obtaining the plenary indulgence and it’s difficult to say how aware of this stipulation people were in the time of Huss and even now. Namely that it’s “required that all attachment to sin, even to venial sin, be absent". Try that one on for size sometime. You must reject and discipline yourself from even the inclinations toward the ‘sins of the flesh’, overeating, excessive comfort, of not giving to the poor, money, power, etc.”. It a long list, to be sure. Even “venial sin” means giving in to even slight bits of concupiscience or attractions to any type of sin.
In all, I’m laying out the full obligatory requirements of a Plenary Indulgence. To make it clear that no pope or anyone else was handing out “get out of jail free (or for a fee) passes. Far from it. If an individual were to be successful in obtaining that indulgence, they’d be well on their way straight to heaven for leading such exemplary lives following the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ. I hope this makes more sense of what an “Indulgence” actually is.
There was no Holy Roman Emperor between 1378 ( death of Charles IV ) and 1433 ( accession of Sigismund of Bohemia ) .
The chalice for the laity was restored in 1963, this is out of date.The chalice was withdrawn part because of some spillage and part because of the plagues.
i love Ian Hus
Eric Metaxas book on ML doesn’t support the so called “Ich bin ein Hussite.” Metaxas wrote that some Hussites sent a note to Luther along with the gift of knives and pamphlet and Luther at first didn’t want to be associated with them but then he read the pamphlet and realized that Jan Hus was accurate and in agreement
Isn't Sigismund supposed to be ginger?
Thanks much for this video.
The cruelty of the Roman Catholic Church is evidenced in the treatment of Jan Hus. Pope John Paul II made an effort to make amends by regretting his cruel treatment. This was disgraceful response. Hus was a beautiful human and is in the presence of God praising Jesus who he loved. His condemners in contrast are burning in hell right now.
Matthew 26:26-29 NASB
While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." [27] And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you; [28] for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins. [29] But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."
Great video, I learned a lot. The ending was pretty abrupt, though.
At the RCC church in my community the congregation get the body (works) but not the blood (justification, salvation).
Where did you even get that from?
Don't you mean Bohemia, not Bavaria?

Huss a hero.. Do one on Arius.שלום
Prague une si belle ville dorée , Jan Hus je connais bien triste film...
merci !!
Great documentary!!
the cup being kept from the laity is absurd. of course the sacrament would be defiled! of course!
I disagree with your notion or belief that the plenary indulgence was what sins have done to the Catholic Church, rather what the effects of sins have done and what is owed to God, not the Church.
Forgive me, but Pope John XXIII was in the twentieth century, just prior to Paul VI.
Steven Massey Different person, as this guy was removed as an authentic pope, so the name was available again in the 20th c
@@RyanReevesM , Which says a lot about the Pope who took his name again.
Prior to COVID, my Catholic Church offered the laity both the body and the blood during communion.
This is talking about the 1300-1500 dark ages ... not 2020. The Catholic Church burned people at the stake just for translating the Bible into English
@@ncbluegrassevents1984 omg stop saying catholic church, church is innocent, just say corruoted fake catholic clerics.
Interesting a church role preaching to the lay people (almost ethnos-oriented)
Cannot address council, can only respond to questions
the glory of bohemians
Bohemia, not Bavaria!
At Catholic Mass, it ain’t wine that is consumed.
Really great!
Cup not duo's.. Sorry auto correct
I was raised Catholic and the laity Drank the Wine in every Racine WI Catholic Church I ever attended. I recall sipping it many times.
"Free Love" Communism and Anarchy are entirely Biblical.
A little know fact about Jeanne d'Arc is that she condemned the Hussites. Which doesn't bode well for Shaw's theory that she was a proto Protastant.
Fun fact - Husinec in czech literally means ,,poop of a goose,,
Or "town of gooses?!"
@martincotadoteho3754 i would say Husnov or Husnice.
Hus was executed by the Romam emperor not the Catholic church
Hus was executed by the Roman emperor not the Catholic church
Jesus Krist be praised!
Henry’s come to visit!
I like it a lot and we had it in class todaay

In Catholic masses today you can get both.
+Cory Irwin // Yes you can since Vatican II in the 1960s. We live in an intersting time in history where people are still alive who remember both ways.
Actually, where I live, only the priest gets the wine.
so we needto be aware about history.....today in this Plamdemic
