Despite his adherence to Arian Christianity, at the beginning of his reign Huneric allowed the election of a new Catholic bishop of Carthage and persecuted the Manichaean sect. Then he started persecuting Catholics: he punished all Catholic Vandals. Furthermore, he tried to make Catholic property fall to the state, but when this caused too much protest from the Byzantine emperor, he chose to banish a number of Catholics to a faraway province instead. On February 1, 484 he organised a meeting of Catholic bishops with Arian bishops, but on February 24, 484 he proclaimed Catholics heretics. A number of Catholic bishops were banished to Corsica, most others were removed from their office but allowed to stay near their former diocese. A few were martyred.

In his relations with other states, Huneric did not have the prestige that his father Geiseric had enjoyed.
