"Bellarmine had not enough deep knowledge of his own nature or Christian experience to be able to appreciate the Augustinian doctrines of the corruption of man and the necessity of divine grace to any good movement of the will."
"Bellarmine's exposition of the views and arguments of the Protestants is surprisingly full and accurate, so much so that the circulation of the book in Italy was for a time not encouraged. He fails, like most of his contemporaries, in understanding the principle of historical development, and his belief in authority, pressed to an extreme, injured his sense of truth and allowed him to handle both the Bible and history in an arbitrary manner."
This is quite obviously a Protestant POV. To write that a Doctor of the Church had "not enough deep knowledge of...Christian experience" is risible.66.133.249.120 10:30, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
In my opinion burning of Giordano Bruno should be mentioned in the beginng of article – Giordano Bruno#Trial and death Superborsuk 00:08, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Second. Horrible POV. Sounds like quotes were lifted from 19th century apologetics.
The quotes above have been edited out, leaving this critique irrelevant. ----
