CHAPTER 5 FAITH AND SUPERSTITION There are many things attributed to faith or said to be of faith that are not faith, nor do they resemble it. For the worst time has come, a time in which people know so little about faith that they hold Christian faith to be a heresy, while heresies they often parade around as faith. And this is the great division of the people today; there are two parties that anathematize one another. 3 The straying away from faith has long since become a great movement, and the people are so much steeped in errors that they accept dead, erroneous, and man-made customs introduced as faith. And they are so ignorant that true faith appears to them as a foul heresy. Battles and disputes, murders, arson, and many other evils -these are the sins that the people have brought upon themselves. And evil men became all the more hardened with a deep hatred against the true faith. A.D.1444 Petr Chelický.
