Just a few problems with your cut & paste job:
1. NOWHERE in your link does it say that the Emperor Constantine was Pontiff of the Church.
2. Constantine had already decided to abandon the city of Rome and move the seat of the Roman Empire to Constantinople. So, if he WERE to declare himself head of the Church it would never have made sense to have it in Rome.
3. Neither the Orthodox or ANY Protestant denomination has EVER disavowed the Council of Nicea or the Nicene Creed. This mean that all of Christianity repudiates your claims.
I’m just curious, YOU don’t believe in the Trinity, how come you are never on non-Catholic threads making false claims about Protestantism.

The Council of Nicea was summoned, and presided over, by the Emperor Constantine. Constantine, Pontifex Maximus of the Roman state religion. He called all the bishops of the eastern and western churches to attend. The bishop of Rome was invited to attend but he chose not to attend. One of the titles of the Roman Emperor was Pontifix Maximus, This title goes all the way back to Babylon and the beginnings of the mother-child Here was the magnificent temple of Esculapius, a pagan god The title of the Magian high priest of Babylon was "Chief Bridge Builder"

In Latin this title was written "Pontifex Maximus," Revelation 2:12 "And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write:

Let's see: the Emperor Augustus was the first to inherit the title of pontifex maximus, waaay back during the Principate. The Emperor Gratian (367-383) renounced the title of pontifex maximus during his rule, becoming, as my source states, "the first emperor in almost four centuries to refuse the office that brought with it control of the ROMAN STATE RELIGION." (H. A. Drake, _Constantine and the Bishops_, p.403).
Augustus' rule ended in AD 14. Constantine reigned from AD 306 to 337. Gratian, once again, ruled from AD 367 to 383. Since the Imperial office of Pontifex Maximus was assumed with Augustus and abandoned with Gratian, and Constantine ruled between the two, then Constantine was Pontifex Maximus of the Roman State Religion. QED.
And, wagglebee, what WAS the Roman State Religion in AD 325, when Constantino il Grande summoned the Council of Nicea?
I'm not quite sure about the point that UriÂ’el-2012 was making about Easter, but on this matter of fact he's right. You -- and others -- owe him an apology.
