One of Wycliffe’s followers, John Hus, actively promoted Wycliffe’s ideas: that people should be permitted to read the Bible in their own language, and they should oppose the tyranny of the Roman church that threatened anyone possessing a non-Latin Bible with execution. Hus was burned at the stake in 1415, with Wycliffe’s manuscript Bibles used as kindling for the fire. The last words of John Hus were that, “in 100 years, God will raise up a man whose calls for reform cannot be suppressed.” Almost exactly 100 years later, in 1517, Martin Luther nailed his famous 95 Theses of Contention (a list of 95 issues of heretical theology and crimes of the Roman Catholic Church) into the church door at Wittenberg. The prophecy of Hus had come true! Martin Luther went on to be the first person to translate and publish the Bible in the commonly-spoken dialect of the German people; a translation more appealing than previous German Biblical translations. Foxe’s Book of Martyrs records that in that same year, 1517, seven people were burned at the stake by the Roman Catholic Church for the crime of teaching their children to say the Lord’s Prayer in English rather than Latin.
I have a Wycliffe commentary that I like rather well. BTW, I have also been to a museum in Mainz, Germany, and I saw Gutenberg's Bible. It is under glass, so no one can touch it, but I saw it with my own eye balls.
Well; get yer GED all you want; but I highly recommend that you do NOT get GERD!
I don't think I will get gored either. I am not into global warming. 😂
Yes, old cow, I do hate. Jesus hates, too. It’s the same object of hate, blasphemy and heresy which prevent people from trusting that God has Promised they will be immediately and forever born into His family by believing in Christ Whom God sent for their Salvation. I hate it when they do that, those Nicolaitans with magic wafers or the ones with magic undies, just hate that stuff.
I thought it was ‘toes’??
My toes are longfellows too? Actually, I think we are more into Limericks than poetry, right Els? We are all haters. We hate the world, the flesh and the devil. Oh yes, we hate false religions too, and there are a ton of them out there. 😂😇😎😱😀
V2 was an ecumenical council and as such is considered to be infallible ...
and like it or not it was infallible in the matters of faith and morals for Roman Catholics
The Star-Spangled Heresy: Americanism
by Solange Hertz
Only solemn definitions regarding faith and morals are infallible -- an ecumenical council is by no means infallible in and of itself, simply by merit of being an ecumenical council.
Wyrd bið ful aræd is correct that being ecumenical does not mean a council is infallible, though to be infallible it must be an ecumenical one and confirmed by the pope.
However, what is wrong, as shown here , is the belief that non-infallible ecumenical conciliar and public papal teachings do not require religious assent, as non-definitive, ordinary teaching requires "ordinary assent," that being "religious submission of will and intellect," submission of mind and will," which "forbids public contradiction of the teaching," as described here .
Which unlike "sacred assent," "theological faith," “divine and Catholic faith” which infallible teaching requires, allows for internal disagreement, but not public dissent.
And that social teaching which is based on RC faith and morals requires ,religious assent, and that the popes last encyclical is presented as being such, has also been shown (see links), despite insistence that it does not even have anything to do with Catholic faith at all.
.
Well said, and your response, in general was cogent.
Basically, a Catholic monarchist strives to disparage the Enlightenment, an essential underpinning of the American Revolution, even blaming it for the murderous Terrors of the French Revolution!
Pretty incoherent stuff. This guy is grasping at straws. The fact that there was widespread anti-Catholic sentiment in the colonies at the time of the Revolution does not, in the broader analysis, support to this guy's rather expansive and whimsical thesis.
