U-2012>It was created out of whole cloth at Nicea by the Roman Pontiff Constantine.

Is this St,]. Groundhogs Day? This "crepe" was refuted multiple times before. I guess sooner or later some moron will forget and post it yet again. Constantine was never a Pontiff and he didn't incorporate the Church. He simply legalized and endorsed it.

There are some on this forum who demonstrate
such Vincible Ignorance so as to be astounding.

Constantine was a Roman Pontiff; See:
Pontifex Maximus

It was only relinquished by Gratian, possibly in 376 CE.

All Roman Emperors held the title from before 300 BCE

It originated in Pagan Babylon and was passed to Pergamon
with the Alter of Satan ( rev 2) then to the Roman Emperors.

A clear reading of history will show the pagan origin of the
term Pontiff and college of pontiffs.

May the scales fall off your eyes and behold the face of YHvH.

I have seen morons and village idiots slinging that hash on these threads for years. Anyone with any education knows it to be a repeated lie.

The term Pontiff, the word used for the Bishop of Rome has its origins in the Roman title of Pontifus Maximus but there is no other connection. The term signifying respect was adopted by the Church to designate the Bishop of Rome and no one else. Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus (Constantine for those of you in Rio Linda) was never the Bishop of Rome or any other place. On a similar note, I had a dog named Rex, but he was never a king either.

I got you Babe, da-da-da-da-da-da. I got you Babe da-da-da-da-da-da. Yup, St. Groundhogs day!
