Before his excommunication, what was Hus's main opposition to Alexander V about?
His selling of indulgences
His alliances with secular rulers
His selection of bishops
His lack of pastoral care
Answer
The selling of indulgences, an ecclesiastical malpractice and a way to raise funds for the church by pardoning sins, faced strong opposition from Jan Hus, a prominent Czech reformer. He argued that true repentance, genuine confession, and practical restitution for one's wrongdoings were the only means to receive divine forgiveness, not the purchase of indulgences.
