John Wycliffe's 18 theses, presented in the 14th century, primarily challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and emphasized the importance of Scripture over church traditions. They argued for the right of individuals to interpret The Bible, the rejection of transubstantiation, and criticized the wealth and corruption of the clergy. Wycliffe advocated for a more personal faith and sought to reform the church from within, laying the groundwork for later Protestant movements. His ideas significantly influenced religious thought and sparked debates that contributed to the Reformation.
