ST. MARCELLINUS OF CARTHAGE – MARTYR: April 6

April 6, 2020 01:00 / Catholic Fun Facts

St. Marcellinus was the friend of  St. Augustine (who dedicated his great work “The City of God” to him) and Secretary of State of the Roman Emperor Honorius.  When Honorius granted freedom of public worship to the Donatists, a rigid heretical group, they began oppressing the Catholics who appealed to the Emperor.   Marcellinus was commissioned to act as judge and bring about peace between the two groups.  He ruled that the Donatists relinquish their churches and return to their Catholic brothers.  The Donatists accused Marcellinus and his brother of involvement in the rebellion of Heraclion.  General Maricus, who was sympathetic to the Donatists, was delegated to crush the rebellion.  He arrested the brothers  and put them into prison.  St. Augustine intervened on their behalf but they were executed in 413.
