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.

Well....like I said in my post....it's obvious Our Lord did not found the Catholic Church as it bears no resemblance to the Church He left us in the scriptures....so just what did Constantine do?

Who's Dan Brown?

He issued the Edict of Milan in 313, ending the persecution of Christians. Are you aware that the very "scriptures" on which you rely weren't compiled and canonized by the Catholic Church until 405?

it's obvious

ROFL!!!!!!

Obvious????? Sez you ...

I say it's obvious that the Church Jesus founded in the Gospels, the Church in the Acts of the Apostles, the Church to which Peter, Paul, James, John, etc. wrote their letters was and is what we now call the Catholic Church.

Who are you to claim that I'm wrong? By what authority would you presume to do so?

Who's Dan Brown?

My sentiments exactly.

If you had actually read ANY of the Church fathers, you'd know that statement is ignorance in the extreme.

Why is St. Peter's Basilica on the Vatican Hill? Do you know?
