The correct answer is the third option: a priest telling his congregation that bread and wine turned to the body and blood of Jesus during communion. John Wycliffe was an English theologian who, in the Late Middle Ages, reacted against the practices and dogmas of the Catholic Church. Wycliffe questioned the corruption, wealth and power of the Church; he stated that priests should come back to a life of poverty, and he even maintained that the Bible should be translated into English so everybody could have a direct access to the word of God without intermediaries. In his book On the Eucharist, published in 1379, he went even further by questioning the doctrine of transubstantiation, that is, the Catholic dogma according to which, during the ceremony of the mass, bread and wine become the flesh and blood of Christ.
