# The 411 Conference of Carthage, which Augustine helps prosecute, lets the state judge Donatists as a defeated party

Date: 411

## The fact

In 411 an imperial conference at Carthage, with Marcellinus presiding, heard Catholics against Donatists. Augustine was a principal Catholic voice. The decision bound the defeated party with state penalties. The instrument is that hearing-plus-judgment, not a recovered stenograph of every day. Augustine of Hippo's documented role is: Marcellinus presided as imperial tribune. Augustine was a Catholic speaker. Honorius' edicts followed. He did not hold the prefecture.

## Context

Marcellinus is the named judge-tribune. Sharing the conference with other African bishops is required. Letter 93 precedes as a justification file. Augustine's later plea not to execute Donatists is a neighbouring mercy row, not a rebate of the stacked hearing. The setting of The 411 Conference of Carthage, which Augustine helps prosecute, lets the state judge Donatists as a defeated party is the public file around 0411-06-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver justice-[judicial-independence](/drivers/justice-judicial-independence-erosion)-erosion is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
