Which part of the sentence is the "because......" part explaining for?
History has recast the 15th century Florentine monk Girolamo Savonarola as a rabble-rousing zealot lording over the “bonfire of the vanities”; yet this so-called __blank___ --mainly because he directed his censure at the church--was a crusader for austerity and thus a check on a papacy that had run a course of profligacy.
" he directed his censure at the church--" is the reason for this so-called "something" was a crusader, or, is it the reason for that blank ( something)?
The missing word relates to Savonarola, as portrayed by the Catholic Church at the time. So the missing word could be "rebel," "blasphemer," "pagan," or various other slurs.
