  Reginald Pecock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was an adherent of the house of Lancaster and in 1454 became a member of the privy council.
Pecock, who has been called "the only great English theologian of the 15th century," was then forced to resign his bishopric, and was removed to Thorney Abbey in Cambridgeshire, where he doubtless remained until his death.
Pecock's other writings include the Book or Rule of Christian Religion, the Donet, "an introduction to the chief truths of the Christian faith in the form of a dialogue between father and son"; and the Folewer to the Donet.

Immeasurably their superior in learning as in argument, his conceit galled them, his assertion of the feudal authority of the pope cut at the roots of hierarchical independence; he had treated the friars with contempt, and his mode of defending the condition of the church was felt to be dangerous.
Again, Pecock’s excellent arguments from history and theological literature made little impression upon contemporaries almost as ignorant as they were biassed, while his philosophical reasoning not only was beyond their grasp, but was suspected of being a greater danger than the Lollardy it controverted.
Pecock finds the heresies of the Lollards to arise from three fundamental errors in their method of thinking; when these are relinquished, they way will be clear for constructive explanation.

 Reginald Pecock
It was unfortunate for Pecock that he was befriended by the unpopular Duke of Suffolk, one of whose last acts before his assassination was to procure the translation of Pecock from St. Asaph's to Chichester, an appointment by which the bishop was attached to the falling house of Lancaster.
Pecock, who all his life had been defending the doctrines of the Church, though possibly in an unwise way, had no intention of a conflict with authority, and abjured first privately, then in public at St. Paul's Cross, a list of errors most of which he had neither held nor taught.
Space does not permit a statement of Pecock's doctrine, but his intentions were orthodox, and his indiscretions would certainly not have been visited by such severe treatment had it not been for the intrigues of his political enemies.

Reginald pecock was a Welshman, a student in the university of Oxford, where he became a fellow of Oriel and took holy orders.
Pecock was not censured; but his translation to Chichester on the murder of Moleyns perhaps marked him as a member of the court party who might conveniently be thrust into a thankless post of danger.

The whole proceeding was illegal according to canon law, which required the authority of the Holy See for such a process.
Unfortunately for Pecock Callistus died, and the new pope, Pius II, acting on Pecock's confession, ordered a new trial with the express instructions that in case of conviction he was to be sent to Rome for punishment, or if that were impossible, he was to be degraded and punished in England as the canons decreed.
Irregularly they forced from him under fear of death a confession, which Pope Pius, taking it on its merits, naturally regarded as evidence of his guilt.

Pecock in turn acknowledged his indebtedness to the reinvigoration of the theological dialogue when expressing his ambitions for his works in his Book of Faith: 'I wole loke aftir that the bokis have the favour which such dialogazacioun or togider talking and clatering ouhte have and may have' [Book of Faith (c.1456), ed.
Nevertheless, Pecock's stylistic engagements with what could be termed 'clerical imitatio', the experimental imitation of literary modes and genres conventionally removed from the idioms of the schools, extend much further than his adaptation of allegedly 'heretical' modes of expression and publication.
This arises from the fact that Pecock's ambitions for his work, and his development of the scholastic idiom in particular, were not determined solely by the demands of polemic.

 Dangerous Persuasion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Bishop Reginald Pecock's surviving vernacular theological writings indicate his intention to provide a means by which the laity might be corrected and brought into obedience to the Church.
This paper examines Pecock's views of the laity and his intentions with respect to their instruction, as well as considering criticisms of him and of his approach.
Ultimately Pecock's endeavours were dangerous for him, but his willingness to take the risks involved reveals something of the extent of his fears about the seriousness of the Lollard threat to the traditional Faith of the Church.
