Summary/Abstract: The consistent systematic-theological approach of the paper can be enriching for the scholars of various fields interested in the topic. The work is not aimed to retell the past; it’s goal is to present the past in the most just way as possible on the level of catholic dogmatics. Firstly, the author describes contemporary concept of transsubstantial model of describing Eucharistic Mystery and refers to the connections between this doctrine and christology on the one hand and ecclesiology on the other. On this basis, he arrives at a new appraisal of Hus’s teachings and also of consubstantiation, which catholic theology need not necessarily perceive as heterodox. Apart from that, it shows that Hus’s essentially orthodox teaching could shed light upon his controversial ecclesiology.
