“Actually Constantine the Great founded what is today the Catholic Church around 325 A.D., or so. Constantine was very pagan oriented too.”
Didn’t he establish the Catholic church as the religion of the Empire?
Agreed, Christianity first became wedded to the state under Constantine’s influence. However, Christians in Constantine’s day did not consider the Bishop of Rome, later called the Pope, to hole the primacy over all the other churches. No RCC without the Roman Pope, Leo (AD 440-461( was the first Pope. Only then was the rest of Christianity expected to be in subservience to the Pope.
