Christianity overall has evolved to not be the same as it once was.
It's ideals remain the same
The same as they were at its jewish inception
Least we forget, it was the warrior culture of (Celtic) Asturias that saved Iberia after the downfall of the Visigoths to stop the Moors.
It's subversive, entirely
I believe Christianity now as it was in Ancient Rome, fully European. It’s only sin being anti-Pagan to where it’s knowledge is lost or muddied.
If we strip away the pagan paranoia, Christianity’s main vice is gone and we’re only left with theology difference.
Wow bro
How long was Rome about before xtianity?
Depends, the City State? kingdom? republic?
And how long did it remain after its implementation?
If we look at religion then it’s a black and white my dude.
Rome survived another thousand years after Rome fell.
It survived up till 1453.
Constantinopolis is the crowning achievement of Christian Rome, it is the very beacon of Christian Europe’s accomplishment, power and prestige.
And now it’s still gone.
Built by the pagan Constantine, he is the first Roman emperor to covert to Christianity as in battle an angel showed him his symbol, the Chi Rho.
And now his city, is occupied.
How based
Did you read my paragraph? I don't remember having it addressed
I did regarding the implementation of Christianity as the official religion.
Unless you’re exclusively talking about Western Rome.
I wouldn't count Byzantium
Byzantium is Rome, (Eastern) Rome.
It still is Rome by all counts and legality.
But (Western) Rome adopted Christianity in 380 AD. And it collapsed In 476 (or 480 depending on your historian).
Less than a century
Then you also have the “Kingdom of the Romans” or really just that one province named Soissons that was the official successor to western Rome, surviving up to 486.
That is if you wish to count Soissons as a piece of WRE due to legal purposes.
They aren't Romans
They're basically race traitors
Western Rome’s problems was that it couldn’t survive on its own? Plus it’s Senate was corrupt and too bureaucratic, which military strong men dictated policy. With a string of poor (and very young) Emperors, the WRE was doomed from the get go.
Turned away their roots for some desert teachings of a foot washing rabbi
Eastern Rome held all the cards economically, politically and had a more homogeneous population. As western Rome was inviting too many non-Latin and non-Gaulish/Celtic tribes who were escaping the Huns.
And these tribes wanted land in exchange they served Rome as auxiliaries. They basically became kingdoms within the empire, and when it got weak they broke off immediately.
But on the bright side Theodosious did stop another Roman civil war after the Tetrarchy thing, just cut the empire in half.
So in principle he got what he wanted.
I'm of Gaul stock
As well as Saxon and Welsh Celt
