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.

Nah, he should have just left if he disagreed. jkjk

Yeah. "Build a bridge and get over it!" C'mon, who wants all that hassle?

"If your opinions have changed then be a gentleman and turn in your card." I remember hearing that at a GC business meeting. The part he left out was: "or if you do not agree with the changes the org. has made..."

Funny, "the org." never "changes." Despite all of the voting and resolutions and rewriting and redrafting of documents, amendments and changes to the Fundamental Doctrine and Articles of Faith: the org. never changes.

They said pretty much the same thing to Wycliffe, Hus, Erasmus, Luther, Calvin, Zwingli and all the rest.
