[Church Society] 8 Sep 2009--“It was not by accident that Archbishop Arundel chose Oxford for the scene of the prohibition of English Bibles. In his letter to John XXIII in 1412 he describes our Reformer [John Wycliffe] as ‘that wretched and pestilent fellow, of damnable memory, that son of the old serpent, the very herald and child of Antichrist,’ who ‘to fill up the measure of his malice, devised the expedient of a new translation of the Scriptures into the mother tongue.’…”

In 1933, R. M. Wilson wrote this fascinating article about John Wycliffe, ‘the morning-star of the Reformation’. It was published in Churchman and has just been republished on Church Society’s website - Anglican Church League
