Catholic Church In Algeria
The Catholic Church in Algeria is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the pope in Rome. Prior to independence, the European Catholic settlers had historic legacy and powerful presence, but today Catholics constitute only a small minority. History Antiquity Christianity was introduced to Algeria around the 2nd century AD. The popularity of Christianity after the edict of Milan is nowhere else as visible as in North Africa where many huge baptistries were built to facilitate the spread of the religion in the fourth century. At the same time, the Donatist heresy spread in Roman Africa, also enticing many who had grievances with the Roman state, until it was condemned by a commission in 313 AD. Nevertheless, Donatism persisted until the beginning of the fifth century when Augustine of Hippo turned the tide in favour of the Church of Rome.

The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ...
