Talk:Hussite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While the Hussites are often described as proto-Protestant by people looking for their own fore-runners, isn't that a little off the mark for Utraquists? Anti-clericalism is different from Protestantism, after all.
Well, even for Hussites it's a bit weird to speak of Protestantism, as the term was not known before 1529. I think 'proto-Protestant' would be ok, but not 'Protestant'. Renke
- Why don't call them 'Protestants'? The others were beeing created before 1529, soI think it's not the best reason. Well, at least I think. And the basic ideas of separation were similar (independence from Rome, etc.). For example, Czech Brethren are Protestants too. And they are straight descendants of Hussits - those, who had won the battle of Lipany and lived in Bohemia during reign of Jiri (George) of Podebrady, whose reign was religiously tolerant.
- Btw, in Czech Republic, Hussits are ordinary called Protestants.--Jan Indráček 14:22, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV check: Joan of Arc's threat.
Why is Joan of Arc's threat set off both by the word "quote" and by quotation marks? While one of the two is clearly necessary here, using both gives the article bias in favor of the Hussites against Joan. The word quote should be eliminated, and just the quotation marks used. Does anyone agree? Roy Al Blue 04:43, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
- Changed. See if you think the new version works. Liblamb 20:03, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Separation into two articles
This article should be separated into two parts: one about medieval Hussites, second about Czechoslovakian Church/Hussite Church (since 1921). The current mix makes the artisle looking pretty lousy. Pavel Vozenilek 20:35, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Insufficient Context
After the intro the article goes right to the arrest of Hus. Shouldn't we find out who Hus was and what he taught before we discuss the effects of his arrest?Armandtanzarian 20:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disappearance
Well, I think it schould be changed a bit. Forexample, Confessio Bohemica was never signedby a king, he only promised to read it, buthe died before he did anything - I also think he didn't want to do it. Czuech nobles hoped so, because when he was young, he "played" with Protestant religions abit, but as a member of Habsburg dynasty he had to be a Catolic. Confessio Bohemica was about religious tolerance and freedom for all - from nobles to the poorest people. It was a bit different from Augspurg peace ("Cuius regio, eius religio")
The second thing is about White Mountain - I think it's important to write there that Protestants (Hussits, Czech Brethren, call them as you want in this case and the others, Lutherans, for example) were forced to either convert to catolicism or leave the country.--Jan Indráček 14:31, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
