Among the heresies he fought was Donatism movement, which denied the validity of sacraments when celebrated by clergy in sin (or so they thought they were). Donatism was a schismatic order declared heretical at the Council of Arles in 314 AD. After 1700 years and with a communist Pope at the head of the Holy Church, we need Augustinian understanding more than ever to avoid the theological errors of new schisms, which are very seductive even to those in good faith, such as sedevacantism.
