Constantine was the worst thing that ever happened to Christianity.
He took a persecuted but devout, peaceful and unified church and turned it into the persecutors of everyone else and murderous factions against each other. “Orthodoxy” simply became us against anyone who disagreed who had to be butchered in the millions over obscure and irrelevant trivialities of interpretation. The church was ruined by Constantine’s intrigues and meddling for the next 1500 years.
I don’t have much good to say about Constantine.
