10 Decius ( ) Persecution under Decian (251) Decius persecuted Christians throughout the Roman Empire. The persecution caused problems for the Church after the persecution ended. Novatianism The followers of Novatian refused to accept readmission into the Church for those who had offered sacrifice to the Emperor.
11 Diocletian ( ) Diocletian persecution (303) This was the nineteenth year of the reign of Diocletian in Dystrus (which the Romans call March), when the feast of the Saviour's passion was near at hand, and royal edicts were published everywhere, commanding that the churches should be razed to the ground, the Scriptures destroyed by fire, those who held positions of honor degraded, and the household servants, if they persisted in the Christian profession, be deprived of their liberty. (Hist. Ecc viii 2.)
12 Persecution under Diocletian ( ) Donatism The Donatist controversy. What should be done concerning those who allowed scripture to be confiscated during persecution (traditores). Was ordination by a Bishop who had been a traditor still valid? Donatism was refuted by Augustine of Hippo.
