Felix, Bishop of Aptunga, in proconsular Africa was a  4th-century churchman, at the center of the Donatist controversy. Felix was one of those who laid hands on Caecilian as Bishop of Carthage in 311AD. However, Felix was considered to have been a Traditor during the Diocletian Persecution and as such his enactment of this consecration was not supported by the majority of the Church. Furthermore, Felix should have consulted with Secundus of Tigisis, Primate of Numidia before doing such an act. Secundus and 70 Bishops appointed Majorinus in his place, precipitating a schism in the Early North African Christianity that lasted for three centuries.
