Bohemian Reformation

The Bohemian Reformation was a religious movement in the early 15th and 16th centuries in the Kingdom of Bohemia (modern Czech Republic) that challenged the authority and practices of the Catholic Church. Inspired by ideas like those of Jan Hus, it called for church reform, emphasizing personal faith, access to scriptures, and criticizing corruption. This movement contributed to the broader Protestant Reformation across Europe, leading to significant religious, social, and political changes. The Bohemian Reformation laid important groundwork for questioning church authority and promoting individual religious understanding.
