Who said that people could use reason to become better christians and to improve the church? a. martin luther c. john wycliffe b. desiderius erasmus d. the pope

The correct answer is "B".

Desiderius Erasmus, also known as the Erasmus of Rotterdam was a Dutch Christian Humanist who was the greatest scholar of the Renaissance in northern Europe.

In comparison to Luther, who preached that "Reason in no way contributes to faith.", Erasmus believed that as a Christian, righteousness must be preached by appealing to reason. This, according to him, was the key to becoming an overall better Christian.
