Don’t sigh. You’re right & I appreciate the correction. He proclaimed religious toleration & was the first Christian Emperor. He didn’t publicly declare himself a Christian until later in life, but depending on the amount of influence his mother had on his beliefs in his early life, he may have had Christian leanings long before he publicly declared.

Theodosius I was the guy who made Christianity the official state religion in 391.
