Solution
The pretensions of the Church were much discredited by the Humanist Movement. Reuchlin and Erasmus criticised the Church for its corruption and worldly business.

The Dutch scholar Erasmus criticized the conduct of the clergy and he wanted them to change their lifestyle. Unfortunately, Pope Leo X could not see the danger signal.
