nah. Erasmus was one of those guys. That's why his story sort of sticks with me. He was truly amazing in many ways.
He was probably the first real Reformer since John Hus, but he never left the RCC. He said something along the line that he preferred to remain and be "nettlesome" and work for change and reform from within.
His contemporary, Martin Luther, was a different sort. Two guys, both saw the same problem and both tried to work at it in their own way. I always thought Erasmus had class.
