Solution

The correct answer is Desiderius Erasmus.

Desiderius Erasmus was a Dutch philosopher and theologian who is well-known for his satirical critiques of the clergy and the church during the Renaissance. His works often used humor and wit to highlight the shortcomings and hypocrisy of religious leaders. One of his famous works, "The Praise of Folly," is an excellent example of how he employed humor to criticize the church and its practices.

In contrast, John Wycliffe and John Calvin were reformers who focused more on theological criticisms rather than humorous critiques, while "None of the Above" does not apply in this context.
