You’re still failing UTTERLY to post evidence of your statement - you know, the statement you now claim you didn’t write.

You posted:

“Jan Hus simply wanted to return the church in Bohemia and Moravia to the practices it had under Orthodoxy;”

1) Completely unsubstantiated.
2) Written by? No one apparently knows.
3) It doesn’t say what YOU claimed. You claimed this:

“This is laid the groundwork for the resentment that long simmered against the Latin church.”

To substantiate that statement - the statement you now deny ever posting - you must prove the following:

1) There was long “simmering” “resentment” against the Catholic Church.
2) That the long “simmering” “resentment” against the Catholic Church was a DIRECT RESULT of what happened to the church in Moravia AFTER the time of Sts. Cyril and Methodius.
3) That the long “simmering” “resentment” against the Catholic Church lasted - some how - lasted 500 years.
And:
4) That the long “simmering” “resentment” against the Catholic Church DIRECTLY - after 500 years - led to the revolts of Jan Huss, the Hussites, and the conception of the Moravian sect.

Your quote showed exactly NONE OF THAT.
Any and all claims that Huss was an Orthodox Christian in no way, shape or form serves as evidence that he knew, was informed by, or cultivated a supposed 500 year old “simmering” “resentment” against the Catholic Church that some how led to the formation of the Moravian sect.

Do you have any evidence for your claim or not?

Are you now at least going to admit that these are your words?: “This is laid the groundwork for the resentment that long simmered against the Latin church.”

My statement was a re-wording of the statement the Moravians themselves make - I linked to that statement. It is how the Moravians view their origins from their own website - posted once again: http://www.moravian.org/history/ The name Moravian identifies the fact that this historic church had its origin in ancient Bohemia and Moravia in what is the present-day Czech Republic. In the mid-ninth century these countries converted to Christianity chiefly through the influence of two Greek Orthodox missionaries, Cyril and Methodius. They translated the Bible into the common language and introduced a national church ritual. In the centuries that followed, Bohemia and Moravia gradually fell under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of Rome, but some of the Czech people protested.
