Excerpt from Lives of the English Cardinals, Vol. 2: Including Historical Notices of the Papal Court, Nicholas Breakspear (Pope Adrian IV.) To Thomas Wolsey, Cardinal Legate
The religious fraternities in England had drawn upon themselves a large amount of popular indigna tion and ridie. Satire had become a prominent feature in English literature, and historians and poets joined in exposing priestly folly, hypocrisy, and greediness. It was against such caterpillars Of the commonwealth that Wickliffe declared war.
