Abstract

We only need to think of John Wycliffe (ca. 1320-1384) 2 and John Hus (1369-1415), 3 or, taking an even more historical perspective, of the Cathars/ Albigensians, the Beguines, the mystics, and countless individual critics already in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries challenging the Church and its claim on absolute authority with regards to being the exclusive intermediary to and with God and hence on being privileged to enjoy absolute political power (Peter Abelard, Walther von der Vogelweide, Peter Waldo, countless so-called heretics, etc.).
