Every time I see that particular lie repeated I get a good laugh because even a meager amount of research would show anyone who honestly cared about the truth that the Bishops resisted Constantine far more than they went along with him. Constantine made Christianity legal and made it illegal to persecute Christians, he also wanted one Church rather than the myriad number of heresies that would arise from everyone interpreting Scripture as they saw fit so HE cooperated with the Church in that respect. Other than that, though, Constantine was an Arian, he believed in the Arian heresy and was upset when his personal belief in Arianism was soundly rejected as heresy at the Council he supported. He was baptised by an Arian Priest, who may even have already been excommunicated by then, on his deathbed.
In addition, almost every single initiative Constantine personally advocated was soundly rejected by the Church as either heresy or error. Anyone who wants to spread lies is free to do so, of course, but be aware that those honestly searching out the truth will soon weed through the propaganda, find the honest sources that existed for about sixteen hundred years before the lie about "Constantine making the Church in his own image" was started, and find that those posting such drivel either enjoy remaining ignorant or are simply liars.
So shortly after the birth date of Martin Luther would be a good time for anyone interested in the truth to read up on just how many of the lies like that one Luther admitted to starting and/or spreading while laughing at those who believed his propaganda. The majority of the items listed in the post to which I reply are, in fact, things that either were attacked by Luther based on what he knew to be lies, or just things the ignorant don't like to bother finding out about rather than just staying in their wallow and enjoying the mud they fling about. Just like the Truth in Scriptures, most folks enjoy making up their own interpretation rather than seeking the Truth, though, which is why the vast majority of those who follow the doctrine of "Sola Yourselfa" and "Make up My Own" will be hearing, "I never knew you" when they're expecting a pat on their little heads for making up such a fine substitute for the Gospel Christ and the Apostles taught.
have a nice day
Hmm, peering back through church history, I see a long succession of the Roman Papacy in cahoots with European Emperors ruling Europe. It had to start some place. I don’t find it before Constantine’s so called Christianized empire.
If you know where else it is supposed to have started other than Constantine, enlighten me please.
