Then it will be easy to prove from something other that a stiff-necked anti-Catholic website. Knock yourself out.

Maybe we could start with a Catholic site?
On October 28, 312, Emperor Constantine met Emperor Maxentius in battle just outside the city of Rome at the Milvian Bridge, spanning the Tiber. This battleoccurring exactly 1,700 years agois one of the most important events in the history of Christendom, since it was through Constantines victory that Christendom began. It is a battle well worth reflecting upon. (http://www.catholicworldreport.com/Item/1697/constantines_gift_to_christianity.aspx)
Then we have this from Catholic Online.
St. Constantine the Great.
Constantine was the most dominating figure of his lifetime, towering over his contemporaries, including Pope Sylvester I. He presided over the Council of Nicaea, gave extensive grants of land and property to the Church, founded the Christian city of Constantinople to serve as his new capital, and undertook a long-sighted program of Christianization for the whole of the Roman Empire. (http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=2731)
Then we only have to look at the pagan practices of the Roman Empire prior to Constantine to understand the struggle to Christianize the pagan practices to appease the people.
Isis became Mary. Mithraism with its flesh and blood of the bull. The henotheists with their many gods became many Saints who are in charge of areas of life such as war, peace etc. Then there are the patron saints just like the pagans had over cities or areas. Of course that Papacy was a natural since Constantine wanted all power in Rome.
Anyone with eyes wide open can see what happened.
