Third Council of Carthage

In 345, the bishop of Carthage, Gratus, held a synod of Catholic bishops in the region. They met to make note of their gratitude for the Imperially supported repression of the Circumcelliones (Donatists) churches, who had been an ecclesiastical issue for the last two decades. The synod made an official declaration against the re-baptism of anyone who had been baptized in the name of the Trinity, and adopted twelve canons of clerical discipline.
