The point Cal Thomas was trying to make is that Christianity thrives where the Roman Empire collapsed.

Do you not see that this bigger than what happened to the coliseum?

I am sure you're right that the Roman Christians took it apart. I am not disputing that. the bigger picture is that there were Roman Christians.

The intent was to wipe out this sect of Christians that were small in number.

Christianity has now grown and is in the millions. I think that is what Cal Thomas was trying to explain.

The empire was Christian when it collapsed.

The example used was historically inaccurate.

You don't have to explain it again. I don't care to derail the thread. I said the point was inaccurate. That's all.
