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.**********
Well, in Carraja there is al ecueja donada, al ecueja cadoliga, al ecueja orrodoxa and al ecueja copa. Uls donadus predominate among the Berbers and uls cadoligus among the urban non-Berbers. Uls orrodoxus are mostly ethnic Greeks who have been there since the Byzantine days and reinforced by immigrations during the various bouts of iconoclasm. Uls copus are almost entirely ethnic Egyptians who decend from the refugees who fled the fall of the Alexandrian Theocracy.
Of course there are also evreus, djipus, muslimus sunidus and muslimus xi'edus. The donadus often derisively refer to the xi'edus as muslimus cadoligus because of the Si'ite doctrine of disemilation which allows a Shi'ite to deny his true beliefs when he deems needful. The cadoligus simply reply by lumping the donadus, orrodxus and copus together and calling them all uls scizmadigus.

That being so, I would appreciate any interesting information about
Donatus and Donatism you happen to have.****************
Well, I don't have much about their specific beliefs beyond what you reference in the drinking song below. From what I can tell they were pretty orthodox in all matters of doctrine but simply refused to accept ordinations of former apostates.
