I have been looking for the source of this quote (or something like it):

The most pernicious doctrine of the Reformation was their doctrine of assurance.

If it helps I think it was a Roman Catholic archbishop or bishop.
 
Luther spoke of the "pernicious doctrine of the papists" that denied to us assurance (quoted by George Maunder). Are you certain that you got your quote right?
 
I am not certain. I heard it second hand so perhaps the person who related it was mixed up.
 
I now recall the name. It was Cardinal Robert Bellarmine and I believe one of Lane's friends on the Castle Church podcast mentioned it.
 
Definitely sounds like Bellarmine. He seems to have been a common thorn in the side of many of our Reformed fathers.
