Talk:Utraquism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What's the source for Podebrad 'converting' Tábor to Utraquism? (Can one convert a town??)

I'm afraid I don't entirely agree with your edits on the Utraquism page, Cuivienen. Two points:

1. "Utraquism [...] was a branch of the Hussite movement"

"Utraquism" was the dogma. The term used for the group of Hussites was "the Utraquists". Perhaps I should split the page into two sections, defining each better.

Perhaps the first sentence would be best written:

"Utraquism was a dogma first proposed by Jacob of Mies, and adopted by the Hussites; the more moderate faction of whom became known as the Utraquists, or - from their use of the chalice, as the Calixtines (from the Latin 'calix', meaning chalice)"

2. "Their moderation...."

This addition just states what is in the next paragraph, with the addition of the word "moderation".

Comments?
