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.
