Donatism

名詞

ドナティズム（キリスト教初期の一派の信念）―堕落したり改宗した神父や司祭では秘跡を適正に執行できず、正統派の観点とは対照的に、秘跡の有効性を否定する立場

Donatism resurfaced in theological debates when bishops questioned the validity of sacraments administered by priests who had lapsed during persecution.

迫害の間に信仰を放棄した司祭は秘跡を正当に執行できないという教義が、司教たちがそうした司祭によって執行された秘跡の有効性を問いただしたときに神学的議論で再浮上した。
