For Erasmus, the main function of the ecclesiastical institution was to disseminate Faith, and consequently, it was not to be run like a State. His attitude got him
\nembroiled in a vast wave of criticism engendered by traditional theologians. His books and ideas contributed to a situation whereby the Protestant Reformation would be set in motion and undermine the Catholic Church\u2019s official stance. Erasmus, although he was often controversial in his day, did however never become Protestant and he died in the bosom of the Roman Catholic Church.<\/p>\n

Confronted by various forms of strangeness (from people beyond the seas in America, Muslims or Reformers), the humanist was able to draw up an idea of Man which defined him independently of his religious faith and endowed him with free will.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”30″ content_placement=”top” row_content_width=”grid” css=”.vc_custom_1576600043927{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 6% !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

He defined himself as a citizen of the world, refusing any attachment, and only sought out those countries where culture and humanism flourished. The two societies in which he claimed allegiance \u2013 and in this he was a true European \u2013 were the Republic of Letters and the Christian Church.<\/p>\n
