Council of Carthage (256)
The council of Carthage held in 256 is the last of a series of four Concile S important held with Carthage, metropolis of the Christian Africa between the 3rd century and the 5th century.
Four councils of 251 and 255 - 256 join together 87 bishop S directed by Cyprien de Carthage. They deal mainly with the question of the Lapsi (Christian which had failed at the time of the persecution of Dèce and which required to return in the Church) and of the validity of the Baptême conferred by the heretics. Saint Cyprien, which supported that an heretic entering the Church was to be renamed, was opposed on this point for the use of the Roman Catholic church defined in 255 by the Pape Etienne I {{er}}. It in result a conflict which lasted until in 257.
