[Antoninus]

Not to mention the laws of Europe (the civil code is a direct descendant from Roman Law) and well, in a good part, those of America.

You, of course, neglect to mention that Roman law was a horrible mish-mash until Constantine, Theodosius, and Justinian (all Christian emperors) came along and regularized it. Indeed, it is the Justinianic Code that much of European law was based.

Just like your last post, your claims to Christian greatness lie only in preserving the ancient world, not surpassing it.

The Code of Justinian took and ordered already existing Roman law from the masses of statutes and laws already in effect.

If you're familiar with the American legal world, the Code of Justinian was similar to a Restatement of the Law.
