Chapter 4 Faith, with an Explanation of the Apostles' Creed
54 - Moral perfection is not in the church's power

By 'Cathars' Calvin appears to mean the third-century Novatianists, who insisted on the most rigorous moral standards and who refused absolution to the penitent.

The Donatists (fourth and fifth centuries), while receiving the penitent back into fellowship, nevertheless required utter holiness of the church and its ministers, and held aloof from any Christian community which enforced a lesser discipline.
