“Before Luther defected from the Catholic Church, nearly the whole West was of the same faith and religion, and in whatever direction a man might go, he would always find his brethren. All were then in light.
But after the fall of Luther, such a smoke of errors, sects, and schisms rose out that now even in the same province, nay more, in the same city or even house, one does not recognize another.”
St. Robert Bellarmine, “Antichrist” (Ch. 23)
