He was really the catalyist, so to speak, in launching our religion into what it is today because of the battle of Milvian brigde and the effects thereof, whether he intended it that way or not. The Eastern rite church considers him a saint. And the book I referenced has a whole chapter didicated to him later on in the book--I haven't gotten there yet though! =)
I'm not going to knock him either. I'm grateful for his acomplishments!
Just bumping for the lurkers. =)
