St. Bellarmine: Satan Inspired The Lutherans St. Robert Bellarmine, De Iustificatione, Book 3, Chap. 11: “For the error of the Novatians was that in the Church they acknowledged no sacrament of penance and reconciliation distinct from baptism. All the Lutherans teach the same. But because Satan had not yet inspired in the Novatians that they should say all men can be reconciled through the remembrance of baptism, which he later inspired in the Lutherans, for that reason the Novatians warned those who had lapsed after baptism that, although they can plead with God [for forgiveness], in the Church the power of reconciling does not exist.” The Truth About Martin Luther https://youtu.be/kd66KXIbAjc
