jan 1, 311 - c.311 Bishop Donatus
Description:
Bishop Donatus insists that the sacraments, ministered by unclean hands, confer no grace.
He believed that priests who had betrayed the faith under Diocletian were traitors and should not be allowed to resume their former positions. His stand begins a controversy that lingers on for close to a hundred years.
