I never stated that Constantine was a Pope.

What does "first pontiff of the Roman church" mean?

Of what "Roman church" was Constantine the "first pontiff"? Keep in mind that Constantine, although a Christian sympathizer, was technically not a Christian until he was baptized on his deathbed.

Oh, and Constantine never used the word "Easter".

He was a Pontiff
Pontiff as in Pontifex maximus or the bridge builder between the human world and after world.
and he created the Roman church.

He spoke something other that English.

The documents state otherwise.
Of cause it is in English translation.
