Lancelotto Politi (religious name Ambrosius Catharinus, 1483–1553) was an Italian Dominican canon lawyer, theologian and bishop.
The 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia describes Catharinus as a "brilliant eccentric", and asserts that, despite frequent accusations of heresy, his teachings were always "within the bounds of orthodoxy".[1]
