Erasmus (1466 – 1536)

by

Teacher, Theologian, & Influential Writer

“And yet, disgusting as it is to see Christian princes in this field more inhuman than ny pagan tyrants ever were, yet this is a little less outrageous than the fact that among our priests also, in whose eyes all money ought to be quite worthless and whose duty it is freely to share the endowments they have so freely received, everything has its price, nothing is free. Think of the sotrms they raise over those famous tithes of theirs, how hatefully the oppress wretched common people! You cannot be baptized, which means that you cannot become a Christian unless you pay cash; such are the splendid auspices under which you enter the portals of the Church.”

“The Adages of Erasmus” p.122, 1946; Translation by William Barker
