If that bonehead hadn't used the christian cult to get rid of his enemies in the pagan bourgeois elite then there would be no christianity in the world today. (Ok, maybe a very small cult.)
Since that is the case, is he ultimately responsible for the Dark Ages, Crusades, Inquisition, Witch Hunts, etc?

The position of the Roman Emperor Constantine in Christianity is most suitable understood if we understand "the city of God" differs from "the city of guy." also, examine contained in the letters of John the position it says do no longer love the international or something contained in the international for guy who loves the international has no longer the love of the daddy in him. i trust Constantine used Christianity to assist carry the Roman Empire mutually. It worked contained in the quick run. I question his convienient conversion at Milan. The Empire of Rome replaced into nonetheless in shambles lower than some a lengthy time period later. he's not the in straightforward words flesh presser to attempt to regulate Christianity for political income. there is not any longer area the following for a communicate of ways the embracing of the Roman Empire presented in distorted teachings on Easter, Christmas, the priesthood, confession, transubstation, a guy forgiving sin and assigning penance--Jesus is the in straightforward words man or woman who can do this. Frankly, i imagine the Christian Church ought to and is more advantageous without those mispractices. hence, the Church must be more advantageous and purer if Constantine had not in any respect ruled. The form Church replaced into the Church of Acts. It had great religious power and boom, and no political power. praise God contained in the sixteenth Century Martin Luther tried to carry us decrease back to this simplier and extra Biblical Church, nonpolitical yet very holy Acts.

Will you be responsible for the future actions of your descendants? No, you have no real control over the future actions of other free persons. Constantine cannot be the one to blame for the actions of misguided believers that came hundreds of years after him.
