Who were the "rulers of of this age" if it were not for the Christians who overcame the intellect of the "Pontifex Maximus" Lord God Caesar Constantine. It was a miracle! And everyone still believes in it - perhaps with determination and fieceness.

It was a political miracle.

Quote:

“The revolution of the fourth century,
carrying with it a new historiography
will not be understood if we underrate
the determination, almost the fierceness,
with which the Christians
appreciated and exploited

"the miracle"

that had transformed Constantine
into a supporter, a protector,
and later a legislator
of the Christian church.”

in the Fourth Century A.D; (1960)
