Jedoch kann man die teilweise brutale Inquisition europäischer Ketzer, wie zum Beispiel bei den Katharern oder Waldensernnicht mit der englischen Verfolgung vergleichen. Das hat man getan und kam dann auf die Idee, sogar die Gebeine Wyclifs ausgraben und verbrennen zu lassen. Das hat die Menschen sehr stark beeindruckt, dass die Papstkirche gespalten ist, dass Babel 2006 zwei Päpste hat - einige Jahre später hat man sogar drei.

In other words, he seeks to reduce epistemology to ontology, in accordance with his realist program. Thus there is a close connection between any kind of truth and the divine ideas cf.

Tractatus de universalibus , chap. In fact, Wyclif defines ideas as the divine nature in action, since they are the means by which God creates all that is outside Himself.

In this way, any distinction between the ideas as pure rationes and the ideas as exemplaria , stated by St. Thomas in his Summa theologiae I, q. Furthermore, ideas are the constitutive principles of divine nature, essentially identical with it.

Thus divine ideas become as necessary as the divine nature itself. On the other side, ideas are the first of the four levels of being proper to creatures.

Indeed, since God could not help but create this Universe as we shall see in Section 4. Thus, the three spheres of possible, existent, and necessary totally coincide.

As a matter of fact, Wyclif, having defined necessary truths as those truths which cannot not be the case, i distinguishes between absolutely necessary truths and conditionally or relatively — secundum quid necessary truths, and ii tries to show how relative necessity is consistent with supreme contingence Logicae continuatio , tr.

He thought that such distinctions enabled him to maintain simultaneously the necessity of all that happens and human freedom cf. Tractatus de universalibus , ch.

According to him, absolutely necessary truths are such truths as i those of theology like the real proposition that God exists , that are per se necessary and do not depend on something else; ii those of geometry, that neither can, nor ever could, nor ever will be able to be otherwise, even though they depend on something else est ab alio sed non potuit non esse ; and iii the past and present truths like the real proposition that I have existed — me fuisse , that cannot be, but might have been otherwise per accidens necessarium, quia est necessarium quod potuit non esse.

On the contrary, relative necessity applies to those events that must follow certain conditions in order to be or happen — so that any contingent truth is relatively necessary if considered in relation to its conditions Logicae continuatio , tr.

In its turn, relative necessity is divided into antecedent, consequent, and concomitant. An instance of such a necessity is the necessity of volition, as where my unconstrained will or the unconstrained will of God is the cause which necessitates something else ibid.

And finally, iii a certain truth is a concomitant relative necessity when it merely accompanies another true event ibid. These features proper to the relative necessity are not opposites, and the same truth may be necessary in all the three ways ibid.

Wyclif insists that all three kinds of relative necessity are contingent truths in themselves ibid. He thought he had an explanation, but he was mistaken.

In his Tractatus de universalibus where he uses all these distinctions in order to try to solve the problem of the relationship between divine power and human freedom , he explicitly maintains that in relation to the foreknowledge of God every effect is necessary to come about Tractatus de universalibus , chap.

Taking into account that God himself cannot begin or cease actually to know or will something, and thus He cannot change from knowing that p to knowing that not- p where p is a given truth , nor from volition to non-volition or vice versa ibid.

It is true that Wyclif insists that even if God can never change from volition to non-volition, the fact that God wills p is in itself contingent, if p is not a theological truth De volucione Dei , chap.

This doctrine of divine ideas and the connected theory of being had a significant result also for the notion of divine omnipotence. In the Middle Ages, one of the most important features of divine omnipotence was the capacity of annihilating, which was viewed as the necessary counterpart of the divine capacity of creating.

Wyclif denies the thesis of an opposition between creation and annihilation, and explicitly denies that God can annihilate creatures.

He argues that nothing is contrary to creation, since the act of creating is peculiar to God, and nothing is opposite or contrary to God. Accordingly, there cannot be any action opposite to creation.

The only possible kind of non-being admitted by Wyclif is corruption corruptio , that is, the natural destruction of the actual existence in time of an object in the world Tractatus de universalibus , chap.

The image of God Wyclif draws here is not the Christian image of the Lord of the universe, who freely creates by an act of His will and has absolute power and control over everything, but a variation of the Neoplatonic notion of the One.

God has been deprived of the power of revocation ibid. Because of the necessary links between i the divine essence and the eternal mental being that every creature has in God and ii this first level of being of creatures and the remaining three, for God to think of creatures is already to create them.

But God cannot help thinking of creatures, since to think of Himself is to think of His constitutive principles, that is, of the ideas of creatures.

Therefore, God cannot help creating. Indeed, He could not help creating just this universe. For these latter theses, this identity meant that the individuals are in potentia universal; for Wyclif it means that the individuals are the universals qua existing in actu — that is, the individuals are the outcome of a process of production that is inscribed into the nature of general essences themselves, and through which general essences change from an incomplete type of subsistence as forms to a full existence as individuals.

This position is consistent with i his theory of substance, where the main and basic composition of every substance, both individual and universal, is not the hylemorphic one, but the composition of potency and act De ente praedicamentali , chap.

Simoneta , pp. According to Catholic doctrine, after consecration the body of Christ is really present in the host instead of the substance of the host itself, while the accidents of the host are the same as before.

Duns Scotus and Ockham, on the contrary, had claimed that after consecration the substance of the bread and wine was annihilated by God, while the accidents of the bread and wine remained the same as before because of an intervention of divine omnipotence.

Wyclif rejects both solutions as well as the Catholic formulation of the dogma, since he could not accept the ideas of the destruction of a substance by God and of the existence of the accidents of a given singular substance without and apart from that singular substance itself — two evident absurdities within the metaphyisical framework of his system of thought.

As a consequence, Wyclif affirms the simultaneous presence in the Eucharist of the body of Crhist and of the substance of the bread and wine , which continues to exist even after the consecration.

According to him, transubstantiation is therefore a twofold process, natural and supernatural. There is natural transubstantiation when a substitution of one substantial form for another takes place, but the subject-matter remains the same.

This is the case with water that becomes wine. There is supernatural transubstantiation when a miraculous transformation of the substantial entity at issue takes place.

This was the case, for instance, with the incarnation of the second person of the Trinity, who is God and became man De apostasia , p.

The Eucharist implies this second kind of transubstantiation, since the Eucharist, like Christ, has a dual nature: earthly and divine. According to its earthly nature the Eucharist is bread and wine , but according to its divine nature it is the body of Christ, which is present in the host spiritually or in a habitudinal fashion, since it is in virtue and by means of faith only that it could be received De apostasia , pp.

Wyclif conceives of Sacred Scripture as a direct emanation from God himself, and therefore as a timeless, unchanging, and archetypal truth independent of the present world and of the concrete material text by means of which it is manifested.

As a consequence, in his De veritate Sacrae Scripturae On the Truth of Sacred Scripture — between late and the end of he tries to show that, despite appearences, the Bible is free from error and contradictions.

The Bible contains the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so that nothing can be added to it or subtracted from it.

Every part of it has to be taken absolutely and without qualification De veritate Sacrae Scripturae , vol. In attributing inerrancy to the Bible, Wyclif was following the traditional attitude towards it, but the way he viewed the book detached him from Catholic tradition, as he thought that his own metaphysical system was the necessary interpretative key for the correct understanding of Biblical truth.

In fact, in the Trialogus Trialogue — between late and early , where Wyclif gives us the conditions for achieving the true meaning of the Bible, they are the following:.

Only on the basis of this logical and metaphysical machinery is it possible to grasp the five different levels of reality of the Bible, which are at the same time:.

This same approach, when applied to the Church, led Wyclif to fight against it in its contemporary state. Augustine draws in his De civitate Dei.

In St. Augustine such a division is metaphorical, but Wyclif made it literal. So he claims that the Holy Catholic Church is the mystical and indivisible community of the saved, eternally bound together by the grace of predestination, while the foreknown, i.

This community of the elect is really distinct from the various particular earthly churches ibid. It is timeless and outside space, and therefore is not a physical entity; its being, like the actual being of any other universal, is wherever any of its members is De ecclesia , p.

All its members always remain in grace, even if temporally in mortal sin ibid. The true Church is presently divided into three parts: the triumphant Church in heaven; the sleeping Church in purgatory; and the militant Church on earth ibid.

But the militant Church on earth cannot be identified with the visible church and its hierarchy. Even more, since we cannot know who are the elect, there is no reason for consenting to recognize and obey the authority of the visible church see De civili dominio , vol.

As a consequence, obedience to any member of the hierarchy is to be subordinated to his fidelity to the precepts of the Bible De civili dominio , vol.

Faithfulness to the true Church can entail the necessity of rebelling against the visible church and its members, when their requests are in conflict with the teaching of Christ De civili dominio , vol.

In conclusion, since the visible church cannot help the believers gain salvation, which is fixed from eternity, and its authority depends on its fidelity to divine revelation, it cannot perform any of the functions traditionally attributed to it, and it therefore has no reason for its own existence.

To be ordained a priest offers no certainty of divine approval and authority De ecclesia , p. Orthodoxy can only result from the application of right reason to the faith of the Bible De veritate Sacrae Scripturae , vol.

The Pope, bishops, abbots, and priests are expected to prove that they really belong to the Holy Catholic Church through their exemplary behavior; they should be poor and free from worldly concerns, and they should spend their time preaching and praying De ecclesia , pp.

In particular, the Pope should not interfere in worldly matters, but should be an example of holiness.

Unworthy priests forfeit their right to exercise authority and to hold property, and lay lords might deprive them of their benefices De civili dominio , vol.

As Leff remarked Leff , p. In fact, the three main theses of the first book of his De civili dominio are the following:.

Wyclif defines dominion as the right to exercise authority and, indirectly, to hold property. According to him, there are three kinds of possession: natural, civil, and evangelical.

Natural possession is the simple possession of goods without any legal title. Civil possession is the possession of goods on the basis of some civil law.

Evangelical possession requires, beyond civil possession, a state of grace in the legal owner. Thus God alone can confer evangelical possession ibid.

On the other hand, a man in a state of grace is lord of the visible universe, but on the condition that he shares his lordship with all the other men who are in a state of grace, as all men in a state of grace have the same rights.

This ultimately means that all the goods of God should be in common, just as they were before the Fall. Private property was introduced as a result of sin.

The purpose of civil law is to preserve the necessities of life ibid. The best form of government is monarchy. Life and Works 1. Logic 2. Metaphysics 3.

Theology 4. Religious and Political Thought 5. According to Wyclif, this is the case for: the concrete accidents inherent in the same substance, since they coincide in the same particular subject but differ from each other because of their own natures; the matter and substantial form of the same individual substance; what is more common in relation to what is less common, like a the divine nature and the three Persons, b the world and this world; and, c among the categorial items belonging to the same category, a superior item and one of its inferiors.

Some points are obvious, however: The real-and-essential distinction matches the traditional real difference.

Vaticana, vol. The main apparent dissimilarities between the analyses proposed in the Tractatus de universalibus and in the Purgans errores circa universalia in communi are the following: There are three main kinds of differences instead of two.

The difference between the matter and the substantial form of the same individual substance is seen as a sub-type of real difference in the Purgans errores circa universalia in communi and as a sub-type of formal distinction in the Tractatus de universalibus.

Like Giles, whom he quotes by name, Wyclif recognizes three main kinds of universals: ante rem , or ideal universals; that is, the ideas in God, archetypes of all that there is; in re , or formal universals; that is, the common natures shared by individual things; and post rem , or intentional universals; that is, mental signs by which we refer to the universals in re.

Furthermore, he speaks of four-fold level of reality esse : First, the eternal mental being esse ideale that every creature has in God, as an object of His mind.

Second, the potential being everything has in its causes, both universal genus, species and particular.

This is closely connected with the nature of the individual substance on which the finite corporeal being is founded, and is independent of its actual existence.

Third, the actual existence in time as an earthly object. Fourth, the accidental being modus essendi accidentalis substantiae caused in a substance by the inherence in it of its appropriate accidental forms Tractatus de universalibus , chap.

More precisely, he holds that: The esse ideale is formally distinct from the singular essence; The actual existence is formally distinct from the universal essence; and The singular essence is formally distinct from the actual existence.

Some rather important conclusions about the nature and the ontological status of relations and relatives follow from these premisses: relation is a truth veritas whose kind of reality is feebler than that of any other accident, as it depends upon the simultaneous existence of three different things: the two extremes of the relation and the foundation.

A relation can indirectly inhere in a substance without any change in the latter, but simply because of a change in another one.

For example: given two things, one white and the other black, if the black thing becomes white, then, because of such a change, a new accident, that is, a relation of similarity, will inhere also in the first thing, apart from any other change in it.

All the true relatives propria relativa are simultaneous by nature see ibidem , p. Since annihilation would be nothing but an accident, and more precisely an action, it would be really different from both the acting subject i.

God and the object of the action i. But any accident requires a substrate of inherence. In this case, it cannot be God.

Thus, it must be the object of annihilation. Yet, because of its particular nature, if there is annihilation, its substrate of inherence cannot be, and therefore the annihilation itself cannot be, since no accident can exist without any substrate of inherence — an apparently self-contradictory state of affairs ibid.

God could not annihilate any creature without annihilating Himself at the same time, because the first and most basic level of being of every creature is rooted in the divine essence itself ibid.

In fact, in the Trialogus Trialogue — between late and early , where Wyclif gives us the conditions for achieving the true meaning of the Bible, they are the following: knowledge of the nature and ontological status of universals; knowledge of the peculiar nature of accidents as dependent in existence on their substantial substrates; knowledge of past and future states of affairs praeteritiones and futuritiones as real in the present as past and future truths, not as things res that have been real in the past and will be real in the future a thesis of his already claimed in the De ente praedicamentali , chap.

In fact, the three main theses of the first book of his De civili dominio are the following: a man in sin has no right to dominion; a man who is in a state of grace possesses all the goods of the world; as a consequence, there can be no dominion without grace as its formal cause De civili dominio , vol.

This extended to unjust rulers, both secular and religious, pitting Wycliffe against the excesses of Roman Catholic leaders.

Why were the teachings of John Wycliffe so controversial? Because he attacked the authority and doctrines of the Catholic Church, which was the church in power in England at the time.

Wycliffe rightly believed the Scriptures are the standard by which all traditions, Popes, and other sources must be measured.

Scripture is sufficient , in and of itself, for salvation, Wycliffe argued. This meant the authority of the Pope and the doctrines of the church were subject to the teaching of Scripture.

When doctrines or Popes ran afoul of Scripture, they should be rejected. Eventually, Wycliffe concluded that the papacy itself was a manmade institution and the Antichrist.

Wycliffe found no biblical evidence for the Catholic view and argued it was an invention of the 13th century.

His high view of Scripture also led Wycliffe to Bible translation; through his translation work and the itinerant preaching of his followers, Wycliffe had widespread and lasting influence.

Wycliffe believed the Bible to be the final authority for doctrine and practice, and he believed the Bible should be read by everyone, including the common Englishman.

Disappointed as he may have been over his failure to receive desirable church posts, his attack on the church was not simply born of anger.

It carried the marks of moral earnestness and a genuine desire for reform. He set himself up against the greatest organization on earth because he sincerely believed that organization was wrong, and if he said so in abusive terms he had the grace to confess it.

Neither must his ingenuousness be forgotten. There was nothing calculated about the way in which he published his opinions on the Eucharist, and the fact that he was not calculating cost him—in all probability—the support of John of Gaunt and of not a few friends at Oxford.

He could afford to lose neither. Article Contents. Print print Print. Table Of Contents. Facebook Twitter. Give Feedback External Websites.
