Abstract EN

Donatism is an African schism, exclusively African ; as such it holds a special and very important place in the history of local Christianity.

It was born in Carthage and Numidia.

Thus, the Donatist schism has its origin in the persecutions of the emperor Diocletian during the period (303-305).

The Donatist heresy appears in 311 following the consecration of the bishop of Carthage Caecilianus.

It was Donat, the bishop of Carthage who gave his name to the Donatist schism.The African Church thus found itself divided between two bishops, two parties: the Donatist Church and the Catholic Church who excommunicated and accused each other.

St.

Augustine entered the race, and led the decisive struggle on the theological and polemical level, at the head of the episcopate of Hippo Regius (Annaba- Algeria) in 392, he presided over the synod of Hippo in 393, which condemned the Donatists.

It is under the imperial aegis that the conference of Carthage was held in 411.

The council pronounced a sentence condemning the Donatists, Donatism was abolished.

This signals the decline of the schism.

The Catholics having prevailed.

The problem that arises is: What is the nature of the two churches Donatist and Catholic? What are their origins? How has the polemical confrontation between Donatists and Catholics evolved? What are its repercussions on ancient North Africa?
