Everything about Utraquist totally explained
» See "Utraquist school" for a kind of bilingual schoolsUtraquism (from the
Latin sub utraque specie, meaning "in both kinds") was a dogma first proposed by
Jacob of Mies in 1414. It maintained that the
Eucharist should be administered "in both kinds" — as both
bread and
wine — to all the congregation, including the laity. (The practice at the time was for only the priests to partake of the wine).
The Utraquists were a moderate faction of the
Hussites (in contrast to the more radical
Taborites and Orebites-Orphans). They were also known as the Prague Party or the Calixtines — from
calix, Latin for their emblem, the
chalice.
The Utraquists eventually reunited with the Catholic Church and defeated the more radical Taborites and Orphans at the
Battle of Lipany in
1434. After that battle, nearly all forms of Hussite revival were Utraquist, as seen with
George of Podebrady, who even managed to bring the city of
Tábor, the famous Taborite stronghold, to convert to Utraquism.
