| | Western North Africa: Donatism |
 | | Though Donatism did flourish again in the sixth century, the entire North African Church was weakened and compromised by the internecine fighting, and proved unable to withstand the attractions of Islam in the seventh century, when the Christian church disappeared entirely from western North Africa. | | | The Donatists held that Christians who had caved in to persecution were no longer fit to occupy positions of leadership in the Church, and, perhaps more importantly, had lost the grace of the Holy Spirit to effectively administer sacraments. | | | Late in fourth century and early in the fifth Catholic Christianity found formidable leadership in St Augustine, who spent a good bit of his episcopate addressing the problem of Donatism. |

| | The two prevalent lines of attack are the historical on the origin of the schism, which involved the dissection of the documents, and the doctrinal, or the discussion of the true notes of the Church from the basis of the Scriptures. | | | Of three fundamental points of Donatism, as perpetuated practices of North Africa, rebaptism and the encouragement of a martyr spirit with its attendant feasts, the continuance of the Seniores in the government of the Church, we find Augustin aiming mainly at the overthrow of the first two. | | | According to the Ambrosian view, Augustin here identified Peter with the rock, on which the Church was to be built; but afterwards he regarded that rock as Christ, who was the subject of the Petrine confession; on Christ was the Church to be built, and to the Church as thus reared, were given the keys. |

| | A Nod in the Direction of the Classical Heresies |
| | Donatism began about 312 CE, when a group known as the Donatists (so named after their leader Donatus) split away from the Catholic Church of North Africa because of the election of Caecilian as bishop of Carthage. | | | Despite persecution (317-321) and the Vandal invasion of 429, Donatism remained into the seventh century, when it and Catholicism were overcome by the Islamic religion and Christianity became extinct in North Africa. | | | The Donatists believed that Caecilian's ordination was invalid because one of his consecrators had been a traditor, one of those who surrendered copies of the sacred scriptures during the great persecution. |

| | The schism was effected by the rejection of the lawful authority of validly-elected Catholic bishops and culminated in illicit but valid ordinations of schismatic bishops, priests, and deacons. | | | In its retention of the all of the liturgical externals of Catholicism and most of its doctrines while rejecting a single doctrine or practice, Donatism is mirrored by groups that might be characterized as rigorist. | | | Donatists had the outward forms of Catholicism, including bishops, priests, and deacons, Mass, and the veneration of the relics of martyrs. |

| | Donatism is the belief that all sacramental efficacy is inextricably linked with the moral worth of the particular minister of the particular sacrament, and by extension with the moral worth of the group or church or sect to which that minister belongs. | | | Among the challenges facing the Christian church over the course of those two generations, along with adjusting to its new status as the publicly favored religion of the empire, were controversies which, given the church’s new relationship with the Roman state, were inevitably caught up in imperial politics. | | | If your church is tainted by moral compromise (such as cooperating with secular authorities during persecution), it is in fact no church at all, and thus has no sacraments at all. |

| | While no texts address the question of Donatism directly, the vicious punishments inflicted on the unchaste ministers, some of which bear a striking resemblance to those found in exempla, suggest the possibility that the satirical commonplace of the priest who is more interested in women than God is ultimately inspired by lurking Donatist fears. | | | Unworthy celebrants realise the exact fears expressed by the eleventh-century reformers as they are blinded to the divine mysteries while gazing on the object of their desire, dash to an amorous assignation even while still wearing their sacred vestments, or scurry to the altar straight from the bed of their luscious, polluting concubine. | | | A combination of factors therefore suggests the possibility of a lurking Donatism among the 'orthodox' laity of the thirteenth century. |

| | Before his pre-war Oxford thesis was published as The Donatist Church in 1952, patristic scholars had generally viewed Donatism, which appeared at Carthage early in the fourth century, as a heresy which prompted St Augustine to formulate aspects of Catholic sacramental theology. | | | He further suggested that Donatism, rather than St Augustine's Catholicism, was the inheritor of the traditions of pre-Constantinian African Christianity. | | | His Martyrdom and Persecution in the Early Church (1965) dealt with a wide canvas of sources from pre-Christian Jewish texts until the fourth century, though it attracted criticism from specialists. |

| | Correct answer: C; Donatism was created by Donatus a priest in North Africa who taught that the sacraments of the church, and the channels by which a Christian received God’s grace, were not valid if administered by an immoral priest or one who had denied his faith under persecution. | | | Answer: Donatism and Arianism were forms of heresy named after the priests who came up with the untraditional ideals. | | | The men who began Donatism and Arianism, forms of heresy, were not Bishops. |

| | Donatism (from the name of Donatus, the founder of the eponymous sect) was a rigorous Christian movement that refused to accept those Christians who had lapsed during the persecutions of 303-305 and had handed over (thus derogatorily called traditores) their copies of the Scriptures to the pagan persecutors. | | | The Donatists saw themselves as the representatives of the pure Christians of the African Church set against the lax Christians in the rest of the Empire. | | | The Church in Conflict in Roman North Africa, Liverpool 1996. |

| | Donatism arose in the aftermath of the persecutions under Diocletian, when many Christians apparently gave into the persecutors and either denied their faith or handed over sacred books to the officials of the state. | | | Donatism, however, remained a vital movement and the church was officially split. | | | In most ways Donatism can therefore be viewed as a schism, rather than a heresy, since it dealt primarily with disciplinary and organizational matters within the church. |

| | Are Realignment Anglicans Donatists |
| | Donatists were schismatics in Africa that insisted the Church must remain "holy," as they defined it of course. | | | Theologian Thomas Oden correctly states that never in the history of the catholic Church have the sexual activities of the clergy been unimportant (Oden 182-183). | | | In this context Augustine wrote against the Donatist bishop Parmenianus, securus iudicat orbis terrarum, meaning "the whole world judges securely." Thus, the claim that a small regional church has the truth, while the universal church does not, struck Augustine as absurd (Hall 203). |

| | The controversy between Catholics and Donatists which followed the persecution was centred chiefly in the refusal of the Donatists to recognize Caecilian, Bishop of Carthage, on the ground that he had been consecrated by traditores. | | | The Donatists, on the other hand, went so far as to assert that all those who communicated with traditores were infected, and that, since the Church is one and holy, the Donatists alone formed the Church. | | | 1) Anti-ecumenical or anti-Catholic Orthodox groups also rebaptize converts from Catholicism and Protestantism, thus following the Donatist practice and defying the Tradition of the unified early Church with regard to converts from Donatism, and even the mainstream Tradition of Orthodoxy. |
