From “Praise of Folly” 1509 –Desiderius Erasmus Some of the most ridiculous people in society are those who call themselves “monks.” Most of them stay as far away from religion as possible, and no people are seen more often in public. These fellows are so hated that it is considered bad luck if one crosses your path, and yet they are highly pleased with themselves. They cannot read, and so they consider it the height of piety (faith) to have no contact with literature.... Most of them take advantage of their dirt and poverty by whining for food from door to door. . . . These smooth fellows believe that by living in filth and ignorance they are attempting to live like Christ. It is amusing to see how they do everything by rule, almost mathematically. The monks of certain orders refuse to touch money, as if it were poison, but have no problem touching wine and women. They forget that Christ will condemn all of this and will call for a reckoning of that which He has prescribed, namely, charity.
