Petilianus was an eminent Donatist of the 5th century Roman North Africa, who is known to history through the letters he wrote to the Catholic Bishop Augustine of Hippo and discourses in Augustine's replies.
Although most of what we know of him comes from Augustine, his main theology seems to have been "that the true church was only composed of those who were repentant."[1]
