Everything about Donatus Magnus totally explained
Donatus Magnus (311?-
355?) was the leader of the
Donatists, a
rigorist Early Christian sect in North Africa.
The group's first leader
Majorinus claimed the episcopal office of
Carthage against
Caecilianus, but after Majorinus' death in
313, Donatus was elected in his place.
Donatism was condemned as a
heresy at various councils, most notably the
Synod of Arles of
314. Despite the Church's condemnation, he continued to lead his sect in the face of official persecution. In August
347 he was exiled to
Gaul by the
Roman emperor Constans I. Donatus is believed to have died in exile around
355.
