There you go again, claiming something to be true that’s not.

Constantine was NOT the first pontiff.

No he was not the first pontiff.

There were many before him

as it is a PAGAN religious title
from Rome and earlier from Ephesus
and earlier from Babylon.

No, it’s just a term derived from the Latin generic word for “priest,” which is “pontifex.” The priests of the Temple in Jerusalem could legitimately referred to as “pontiffs” in a generic sense as well.
