On this date, 11/5/1414 the Council of Constance brought to trial two Bohemian reformers. One was John Huss (or Jan Hus) was burned at the stake 7/6/1415. The other was Jerome of Prague (killed 5/30/1416). This council also anathematized the teachings of the English reformer John Wycliffe.
Hus’ teachings had a strong influence on Europe and influenced none other than the great Martin Luther himself.

The “Council of Constance” on this date, 11/5/1414, brought to trial two Bohemian men vitally interested in reforming religion as it then stood. Evidently the “Council of Constance” was not interested in reform.
They condemned John Huss (aka Jan Hus), a former dean of philosophical faculty and the author of On Simony, On the Church. This council also condemned his friend Jerome of Prague. They even went so far as to anathematized the teachings of the great English thinker/minister, John Wycliffe.
Huss was burned at stake the next year (1415) and they killed Jerome of Prague the year after that (1416). Their “sins”? What was called “heresy,” in reality outspoken appeals for church reform and (at least in Huss’ case) for seeking religious rights for the common people.

“A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” (stanzas 3,4)
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.
Written by Martin Luther born 11/10/1483, Eisleben, Germany. Luther saw in the Holy Scriptures that the Just Shall Live By Faith (Hab 2.4, Rom 1.17, Gal 3.11, & Heb 10.38). This revolutionized his life, increased the Reformation (already started at least by John Hus’ time), and caused rejoicing among souls freed from the system of works, works, works.
