Donatism

Donatism is named for a fourth century, Christian bishop, Donatus Magnus. Donatus, like Pelagius, taught that Christians should live lives of perfection. The problem is that only one man ever lived a perfect life and His name is Jesus Christ. Apart from Christ, there has been no perfect person. Today, many Christians, who are less than perfect, try to live up to an impossibly high expectation of perfection.
