Lessons From History

A big problem of Christendom is the failure to remember the past generations and the price that was paid by our forefathers for our Gospel liberties. This section supplies brief biographical sketches of some of the major figures in Protestantism.

Wicliffe and Church Property
by Dr Clive Gillis, 6/30/2008
Next to “the power of the keys”, Wicliffe was most concerned with the property of the Church. What is given to the Church, said the canon law, is given to God and could not be recovered. It was the Church’s sole, absolute, and eternal inheritance. Further these vast possessions were exempt from taxes and public burdens allowing foreign clergy to prey on the land, a situation the Third and Fourth Lateran Councils progressively strengthened.

Hierarchical Persecution Of Wicliffe Resumed
by Dr Clive Gillis, 6/18/2008
MEANWHILE, the three bulls of the Pope had arrived in England. The one addressed to the king found Edward in his grave. That sent to the university was but coldly welcomed. Not in vain had Wicliffe taught so many years in its halls. Oxford, moreover, had too great a regard for its own fame to extinguish the brightest luminary it contained. But the bull addressed to the bishops found them in a different mood. Alarm and rage possessed these prelates. Mainly by the instrumentality of Wicliffe had England been rescued from sheer vassalage to the Papal See.
Persecution Of Wicliffe By The Pope And The Hierarchy
by Dr Clive Gillis, 6/2/2008
THE man who was the mainspring of a movement so formidable to the Papacy must be struck down. The writings of Wicliffe were examined. It was no difficult matter to extract from his works, doctrines which militated against the power and wealth of Rome.
The Battle Of The Parliament With The Pope
by Dr Clive Gillis, 5/19/2008
The opposition of Parliament to the encroachments of the Popes on the liberties of the kingdom resulted in several stringent laws being passed, especially the Statutes of Provisors and Praemunire. There were certain benefices in England which the Pope, in the plenitude of his power, reserved to himself. These were generally the more wealthy livings. But it might be inconvenient to wait till a vacancy actually occurred.
