Critiques of Catholicism by Reformers

The document identifies criticisms of the Roman Catholic Church by John Wycliffe, Jan Hus, and Desiderius Erasmus and their impact on later reformers. Wycliffe criticized the Church's wealth and authority, his followers were called Lollards and they believed in translating the Bible into English. Hus stood for reform and communion in both kinds, and was burned at the stake for heresy, proving his final words true. Erasmus emphasized scripture over tradition and his writings helped inspire Martin Luther and other Protestant reformers.
