"Christians and non-Christans alike should be allowed to keep the faith of their own religious beliefs and worship...[N]o one whatever was to be denied the right to follow and choose the Christian observance or form of worship...[E]very individual still desirous of observing the Christian form of worship should without interference be allowed to do so....[W]e have given the said Christians free and absolute permission to practice their own form of worship."
And a great blessing it was! You won't hear me knocking Constantine.

Much scorn is heaped on him because he had members of his family killed. But if they betrayed him then they were traitors to the state because he was the state. And if so, they HAD to be executed under Roman law. One could say that Constantine did not make any expections to the law, not even his own family. Something to think about anyway.
