Why do you think Constantine Favored Christianity in 306-337?

Answer 1

political pragmatism.

He was able to ditch his old crowd of cronies for a new set of up-and-coming politicos, who, less politically astute, could be more easily manipulated.

Christianity was a growing religion, and he was cashing in on the dominant fad, while distancing himself from those whom he owed too many favors.

Also, as a military commander who liked order, the idea of a single religion throughot the Empire had its appeals.

Answer 2

Constantine did no such ingredient. Throw away those Chick tracts and get some precise previous literature. Constantine basically legalized Catholicism after it have been persecuted for over 3 hundred years. The Catholic Church had already had better than 30 Popes until now than Constantine was BORN. The earliest pointed out written record of the Holy Catholic Church by using means of that identify is in the writings of Ignatius, Catholic bishop of Antioch, in the year 108 advert. Ignatius knew the apostle John in my opinion, was catechized by using means of him and by using and vast ordained by using means of him as good.
