Desiderius Erasmus feared the rise of dogmatism and intolerance within both the Catholic Church and the emerging Protestant movement. He advocated for reason, education, and a return to the original texts of Christianity, believing that blind adherence to doctrine could lead to division and conflict. Erasmus also expressed concern about the impact of human greed and moral decay on society, emphasizing the need for reform and genuine Christian values. His commitment to these ideals often placed him at odds with both reformers and traditionalists.
