	Calvin's Institutes Book 3, Chapter 3
		The paralogism of the Novatians in wresting the words of the Apostle examined.
		There are other passages, from a misinterpretation of which the Novatians of old extracted materials for their heresy; so much so, that some good men taking offense at their harshness, have deemed the Epistle altogether spurious, though it truly savors in every part of it of the apostolic spirit.
		Casting off, as interpreted by the Novatians, is when any one, notwithstanding of being taught by the Law of the Lord not to steal or commit adultery, refrains not from theft or adultery.

		For which reason Novatian neither ought to be nor can be expected, inasmuch as he also is without the Church and acting in opposition to the peace and love of Christ, from being counted among adversaries and antichrists.
		Wherefore they who patronize Novatian or other schismatics of that kind, contend in vain that any one can be baptized and sanctified with a saving baptism among them, when it is plain that he who baptizes has not the power of baptizing.
		And, on the other hand, some of those who are baptized in health, if subsequently they begin to sin, are shaken by the return of the unclean spirit, so that it is manifest that the devil is driven out in baptism by the faith of the believer, and returns if the faith afterwards shall fail.

	Cyril of Alexandria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It feared, not without reason, that the new bishop would show too much independence; and, indeed, on every occasion Cyril proved that he was master in Alexandria.
		He closed the churches of the Novatians, expelled the Jews from the city in spite of the opposition of the prefect Orestes, and when Nitrian monks insulted the prefect in the open street, he praised their leader as a martyr.
		He may not have ordered the murder of Hypatia, but his lector and the parabalani were well aware that the female philosopher was an irritant to the archbishop.

		In some matters, such as in regard to the Novatians, Sozomen is entirely dependent on Socrates.
		The historical exposition is altogether impersonal; Sozomen assumes (III., xv.) that the task of history is to assemble facts without adding anything to them, hence he indulges in little criticism and usually adopts the views of his sources.
		In reality, in accord with his legal training, he has no opinion in theological questions; at the same time he was thoroughly pious and a great admirer of monasticism.

	A History of the General Councils - AD 325 through AD 1870 - Mgr. Philip Hughes
		First of all there are the remnants of the schism begun in Rome by the antipope Novatian, some seventy-five years before the council.
		Novatian was one of that fairly numerous class for whom the rulers of the Church deal far too mildly with repentant sinners.
		He ended by denying that the Church had the power to absolve those who fell away in times of persecution; and his followers, self-styled "the Pure," extended this disability to all sins of idolatry, sex sins, and murder.

		In the spirit of this utterance, steps were taken within a few days by the new prelate to suppress the assemblies of the Arians; these, by a bold stroke of policy, anticipated his action by themselves setting fire to their meetinghouse, Nestorius being forthwith nicknamed the incendiary.
		The Novatians and the Quartodecimans were the next objects of his orthodox zeala zeal which in the case of the former at least was reinforced, according to Socrates, by his envy of their bishop; and it led to serious and fatal disturbances at Sardis and Miletus.
		The toleration the followers of Macedonius had long enjoyed was also rudely broken, the recently settled Pelagians alone finding any respite.

	Newman Reader - Development of Christian Doctrine - Chapter 8
		And, though ascetics existed from the beginning, the notion of a religion higher than the Christianity of the many, was first prominently brought forward by the Gnostics, Montanists, Novatians, and Manichees.
		And while the prophets of the Montanists prefigure the Church's Doctors, and their professed inspiration her infallibility, and their revelations her developments, and the heresiarch himself is the unsightly anticipation of St. Francis, in Novatian again we discern the aspiration of nature after such creations of grace as St. Benedict or St. Bruno.
		And so the effort of Sabellius to complete the enunciation of the mystery of the Ever-blessed Trinity failed: it became a heresy; grace would not be constrained; the course of thought could not be forced;—at length it was realized in the true Unitarianism of St Augustine.

		And "catholic" has the same meaning as "ecumenical." The "ecumene" means "the entire inhabited world"; therefore "ecumenical" means "pertaining to the entire cultural world" or "concerning the entire human race." In your Book of Praise you can find an ecumenical heirloom, the Nicene Creed, which dates back to the so-called First Ecumenical Council of 325.
		There the Arians were condemned, and also the Cathari (or Novatians), who, so it says, could not join the ecumenical church if they did not agree with the dogmas - that's what it says - of the universal and catholic church.
		Stipulations were also made concerning the so-called baptism of heretics.

		In the first, he shows that absolution is to be given to penitents for all sins, however grievous.

		At the present time we can not always have the ability to determine which canons are effective and which are not.
		Thus it is possible to state with certainty that certain canons are no longer effective, for example all canons dealing with the reception into the Church of individuals from ancient heresies which no longer exist, such as Montanists, Novatians, Photinians, Arians, etc., and canons governing institutions which disappeared from the Church such as penitential discipline.
		It is obvious, in the light of the state of ecclesiastical legislation described above, that the agenda of a future Council must include the question of the codification of canons.
