THE PAGAN ROOTS OF ROMAN CATHOLIC BELIEFS

Constantine had a vision in which a flaming cross appeared in the sky with an inscription over it reading in Latin, "In Hoc Signo Vinces" - In This Sign Conquer!

He dedicated the battle to the Christian God (whose sign he believed he was shown) and upon victory became supreme ruler in the Western Roman Empire.

Christianity had finally gained favor in high places.

In 313 A.D., Constantine issued the Edict of Milan which gave Christians the freedom to worship openly throughout the empire, putting the growing new religion on an equal plane with the popular pagan cults and practices that thrived there.

Suddenly, after more than two centuries of persecution unleashed on Christians by various Emperors, all Christians both "true and false", enjoy a new era of tolerance and acceptance throughout the empire.

Unfortunately for "True Christians", it doesn't last long.
