  nations, and our lives to counter, counterfeit,

Christianity, A New State Religion In A.D. 312
an important Roman general by the name of
Constantine was converted to Christianity through
a spiritual experience he had on the battlefield.
That same year, Constantine was made emperor of
Rome.
34
Under his leadership, Constantine offered
protection to Christians, allowing Christian
churches to be built throughout the empire, and
allowing Christianity to spread more quickly. By
A.D. 392 Christianity had become a powerful force
in Rome. It was practiced from border to border.
In this same year, the emperor Theodosius
declared Christianity the state religion, and
outlawed all other religious practices.
Christians began to organize their church into
parishes, which were overseen by priests. Several
parishes formed what was called a diocese. Each
diocese was led by a bishop. Eventually the
bishop in Rome began to claim authority over all
other bishops, and gave himself the title of
papa, or Pope. The Western parishes readily
accepted the authority of the Pope, however, the
Eastern churches did not. The churches in the
West eventually became known as the Roman
Catholic Church, while the churches in the East
joined together to form the Eastern Orthodox
Church
