Nope....your friend Constantine did that....and the Church he founded bore absolutely no resemblance to the First Century Christian Church of the Apostles. Still doesn't....and never will!
The notion that Constantine “founded” the Catholic Church is nothing but a bigoted fantasy promoted by the likes of Dan Brown. Legalizing Christianity isn’t the same as founding a church.
So you agree that the gates of Hell did indeed overcome the Church! Good, at least I know what you believe, and why we should all ignore you.
What foolishness! Jesus Christ founded his Church on earth and it is the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, commonly known as the Roman Catholic Church. If you're not a Catholic but consider yourself a Christian know that you are seperated from the One True Church and all the rationalizations in the world, all the illogical assumptions and revised history you can conjure up won't change that fact.
Constantine became a catechumen when he realized he was dying, and he chose the Arian bishop Eusebius of Nicomedia as his baptizer. You realize that the Arians were the major opponents of the Catholics, right? Well, then.
If you'd like to corkscrew this around for your own purposes, go ahead, have a bash at it. There's a real market for ecclesiastical fiction. The Da Vinci Code was quite a money-maker, I hear.

Okay, Diego, you’ve made this absurd claim before. Please document it.
