"Mr President, in his book
Erasmus castigates various establishment groups of his day, and it still makes amusing reading 500 years later.
In his criticism of theologians he says: ‘They will proclaim me a heretic. With this thunderbolt they terrify the people they don’t like. Their opinion of themselves is so great that they behave as if they were already in heaven; they look down pityingly on other men as so many worms. A wall of imposing definitions, conclusions, corollaries, and explicit and implicit propositions protects them. They are full of big words and newly-invented terms.’
It is unintended irony, surely, to associate the name of Erasmus with the European Union, the greatest folly of our age."@en1
