2. The Early Reformers  How did Reformers change the Catholic Religion?

3. Early Reformers:  Two men stepped forward to challenge the church and become the most influential theologians to openly criticize the church.  Their views, though condemned by the church and not widely accepted by ordinary people, began a discussion that would eventually lead to reform.  The first, John Wycliff, was born in England about 1330.  He believed that the church should give up its earthly possessions. His views proved unpopular with church officials, who removed him from his teaching position.  The other was Jan Hus who was born in southern Bohemia about 1370.  He became a priest and was soon preaching against the immorality and worldliness of the Catholic Church. In 1412, Hus was excommunicated by Pope Gregory XII. Hus was later arrested, tried, and burned at the stake. (Ramirez, Stearns, and Wineburg, 2008)
