No: Constantine spoke Greek, and the only thing that changed about Easter on his account was that he promulgated a decree making uniform the date of a feast he, and his decree, called “PASCHA”.

This is disingenuous. What Constantine did was to tear Christianity away from it's Hebrew root. Quite amazing, isn't it, that Constantine's compromise landed Pascha directly upon the day of Ishtar/Isis? What a coincidence, huh?

By ratifying the decision of the bishops, most of whom suffered persecution for the faith under Diocletian? What rot!

Care to provide evidence that there was a "day of Ishtar" that fell on the Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox ON THE JULIAN CALENDAR ???

Of course not; the Babylonians knew of no such day, nor of the calendar on which it was based, nor did Constantine know of any holiday called "Easter".
