Why was Jan Hus's excommunication enforced?
Because he stole from the church
Because he spoke out against Antipope John XXIII for selling of indulgences
Because he stopped going to church
Because he moved to another city
Answer
The enforcement of Jan Hus's excommunication stemmed from his vocal opposition to the corrupt practices of Antipope John XXIII, particularly the selling of indulgences, a practice which Hus viewed as exploitative and contrary to Christian principles. His unwavering stance against such abuses and his criticism of the excessive materialism within the church ultimately led to his condemnation and excommunication.
