Utraquism

Also known as Calixtines

Utraquism was the moderate branch of the Hussite movement in Bohemia, named after its central demand for communion under both kinds (sub utraque specie), bread and wine, for the laity. Recognised by the Compacts of Basel in 1436, the Utraquist church coexisted with Catholicism in Bohemia for almost two centuries, until it was suppressed after the Battle of White Mountain.
