Peter Kániš
Bohemian Hussite priest and theologian (d. 1421) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Kániš (died 1421) was a priest and theologian during the Bohemian reformation, being the chief spokesman for the Taborites.[1] Along with other Taborites, he was burned at the stake for heresy by Jan Žižka, who wanted to control the most radical parts of the reformation.[2][3][4][5] Kániš advocated the postponement of baptism until the age of thirty over infant baptism. He took a memorialist view of the Eucharist. Bishop Nicholas Biskupec wrote a treatise against him defending the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.[6][7][8] A few of those led by Kániš and Martin Húska would later form the Adamite sect.[9]
