John Huss Net Worth

John Huss was a religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer born in 1369 in Husinec, Bohemia. He is best known as the founder of Hussitism and a key figure in the Bohemian Reformation, which was a precursor to Protestantism. He was driven by a desire to follow Biblical teachings and reform the church, which led to conflict with the powerful clergy. He denied the infallibility of the pope, asserted the authority of scripture over the church, and gave the state the right to supervise it. His teachings gained a large following, which caused a division in the Bohemian clergy. He was eventually arrested and burned at the stake after a sham trial at the Council of Constance.
