The Donatists arose due to a disagreement over the election of Cæcilian as the Bishop of Carthage. The local bishops consecrated Donatus, a rival, for whom the sect is named. Occasionally persecuted, the sect survived until the Islamic conquest, during the 7th-8th centuries. ]]></dc:description></metadata>
