Several people online here have made the claim that the Roman Catholic church was founded in 325 by Constantine. I would like to find a detailed, SCHOLARLY statement of this claim -- book length, with footnotes, the whole nine yards. Scholarly. Detailed. A graduate-level course bibliography would be a good answer to my question.
Please don't explain the claim here. Just bibliographic info, please.
Also, please don't refute the claim here. If you can point me to a detailed, scholarly, SPECIFIC refutation of the claim, fine. But I'm not interested in general histories of the early church that don't specifically address this claim -- I have several histories of the early church.
Did I mention I'm interested only in SCHOLARLY works? :-)
