The FI was thoroughly Donatist (ocrexi, _then_ daunatichau ocrexi) up
until the Northern Invasion (fsa ymbasiaun e xoftonchiaun) of 1180.
Then the Norse overlords brought Catholicism (catorica ocrexi) with
them. Some Fortunatians founded a Uniate Church (unita ocrexi). The
official churches in exile (ocrexiax fy ocsyri) are Catholic and
Uniate.

That being so, I would appreciate any interesting information about
Donatus and Donatism you happen to have.

Damn the traitors, who had care for their looks."
