The Wincentenes

The Wincentenes are a Cister Cartian movement that follow the teachings of the reformer Yan Wincentene. It began in 1403 in the Kingdom of Metina and after Yan was executed on the grounds of heresy, quickly spread to Central Magnia where their cause was taken up by Bishop Kadlec and his Priests. The movement started out criticizing the monarchy and the pontiff for its wealth, corruption, misogyny, and bigotry and they called for clerical purity, prohibition of alcohol and vices, expulsion of the court wizards, gender equality, and sexual freedom. After the King of Metina and the pontiff allied themselves against the movement, the Wincentene War broke out between Cister Cartian and Wincentene followers.
It was this movement which led to the threatened Pontiff of Vichin urging King Florence II to declare Cister Carta state religion and make heathenism punishable by death, in order to contain the spread of these so-called "dangerous ideas". King Florence's decree soon challenged the loyalty of the Vichinian provinces and directly led to the Western War.

7. The offices of priests
Even religion and philanthropy are wicked to God, for they too originate from selfish human desire and are not done to the glory of God. Any man who would raise himself to be more pious than the rest shall be condemned as a demon and a falsehood. Temporal offices are not meant for preachers of the scripture.
8. The Pontiff
Perched atop this sinful congregation, that of the devil, the harlot of the Apocalypse. Atonement comes from God direct, he requires no medium to express himself, and no building can hold or house his visage.
9. Rejection of the holy rites of old.
Reject the old teachings, produce of devils; prayer is as well offered in a church or a barn; relics are no different from any other bones and should not be regarded special or holy; pilgrimages serve only to spend your money; flesh may be eaten any day if one’s appetite serves; holy water is no more efficacious than rainwater.
