Abstract:

This article reexamines the concept of reformatio ecclesiae in the writings of John Wyclif and Jan Hus. Overviewing a long historiographical discussion on Wyclif’s and Hus’s ecclesiology, the article analyzes their shared and divergent opinions on the Church. Significant attention is given to their concept of the Church, its structure and government, as well as to the relations between the ecclesiastical and secular authorities. In Wyclif’s teachings the Church is defined as the congregation of the elect, and this definition was central to his entire ecclesiology. Applying his realist approach to universals Wyclif argues that only God has the power to determine the fate of every human being and that nothing could change His decisions. Wyclif demonstrates that the Roman Church has nothing in common with the true Church to which belong only men and women elected by God’s eternal grace. No human being, including the pope and senior Church officials, knows who is elected to salvation and who is predestined to damnation. Such a concept of the Church helped Wyclif to attack the Roman Church, to undermine its hierarchical structure and to reject the special powers of the Holy See. Wyclif’s program of Church reform was closely associated with his political projects that aimed at strengthening the position of an English king who was entrusted with supreme political and religious powers. In contrast to Wyclif Hus was first of all a charismatic preacher and a leader of pastoral reform. He adopted Wyclif’s ecclesiological concepts to promote his doctrine of moral reform that was to start with priests and embrace every Christian. Despite their common philosophical and theological background Hus neither followed Wyclif in the latter’s critique of the Roman Church, nor did he deny the role of the papacy and other ecclesiastical institutions.
