Konfesionálne pozície / Confessional Positions

4 documented positions across 3 traditions

Luteránska / Lutheran

Factual | Book of Concord sub_utraque_normative

Communion in both kinds (bread and wine) for all communicants is normative. CA XXII argues this from Scripture and early Church practice. Infant communion not practised.

Prameň: BookConcord_1580 — CA XXII (BSELK pp. 92-93)

Utrakvistická / Utraquist

Factual | Old (conservative) sub_utraque_foundational

Communion in both kinds is THE defining mark — the theological *raison d'être* of the entire movement. Lay chalice defended since Jakoubek ze Stříbra (c. 1414). Infant communion practised in some communities.

Prameň: ArtPrag_1420 — First Article Sekundárny: Krmickova_BRRP3

The chalice is not merely a practice but an identity. Krmíčková traces Jakoubek's theological reasoning to Matěj of Janov's Regulae.

Interpretive | Neo-Utraquist sub_utraque_continued

Lay chalice continues as identity marker but increasingly shared with Lutherans (who also practise sub utraque). The distinctive becomes less distinctive as Protestantism spreads.

Prameň: AgCeska_1581 — Communion rite, Benka ed. Sekundárny: Graham_2006

Graham (2006) argues NO Lutheran influence on the Utraquist Mass itself — the shared practice arose independently.

Jednota bratská / Unity of Brethren

Factual | Mature (post-Lukáš) sub_utraque_assumed

Both kinds for communicants, but without the identity-weight the Utraquists attach to it. For the Unity, the chalice is simply correct practice, not a confessional banner.

Prameň: ConfFidei_1535 — Art. X

The Unity did not need to *fight* for the chalice — they inherited it as obvious.
