Well I'm not totally sure but if I had to warrant a guess I'd say he meant how dare people mock the honors rendered to Voltaire in the temple of which he is the god, and by the priests who for fifty years have been living off his masterpieces

Rousseau simply defended Voltaire, despite Voltaire is his bitterest enemy.
>In 1778, when Voltaire was given unprecedented honors at the Théâtre-Français,[ an acquaintance of Rousseau ridiculed the event.This was met by a sharp retort from Rousseau.
