As a Christian, I’ve often wondered why roman catholicism does so many of the things it does.

After studying history, I honestly came to feel that, IRONICALLY, after Christians were stopped being persecuted by the Romans 313 AD, when Constantine the Great became the first Roman emperor to become “Christian”, then it seemed that many people became “Christian” for ‘political’ and ‘social acceptance’ reasons, eventually diluting and coming of influence and rising to power of these ‘higher politically motivated’ influence peddlers within the Christian church. Where more ‘earthly’ traditions.
