Constantine did not “found” the Catholic Church; it had been in existence since 33 AD and miraculously became the dominant Faith in all of the Empire. Many souls were saved because the name of Jesus was now known by a large portion of the world.

By the way, Constantine ruled from Byzantium and partook of Eastern Christian tradition and theology. So maybe he actually founded the Eastern Orthodox Church. ;)

Yup.

The EXAMPLE of the CORRECT way to worship and practice is found in the first 3 chapters of the last book of the bible that Rome assembled long ago:

the Seven churches in Asia.

We would do well to emulate them, since they are the product of what is known today of Roman Catholicism.

If you're series, that's insane.
If you're joking, that's funny.
