Definition:
donatism

n : a schismatic Christian religion in northern Africa from the 4th to the 7th century; held that only those who led a blameless life belonged in the church or could administer the sacraments

 

[Isis-Astoroth]

I don't know that by calling it a heresy you're going to get any answers.

 

[Lokisdottir]

I believe in donutism. Mmmmm.

I'm going to assume the answer is no, for 2 reasons.
A. It was mainly practiced from the 4th century to the 7th.
B. It's kind of hard to find people for your church when the rules for belonging are so difficult to follow.

Now, on a side note... don't you think it's a little rude to ask people to respond when you call what they potentially believe a heresy?

Thank you I was just going to ask what it was. I guess they didn't have many people in their churches or weren't true to their faith. Maybe they just redefined the word blameless.
