Question

In a sentence or two, explain what Erasmus meant when he said the following.

“The greatest danger to faith was following traditional teachings of the Church without understanding the teachings of Christ himself.”

Answer 1

He was trying to say that the fact that the catholic church was the one holding all the power with the tradition and people were blindly following the Church without having any knowledge of the word of God itself, the bible.

Since believing and following the word of Christ is not the same thing as blindly following what someone tells you to be the word of Christ.
