Origins, 7

It's suggested
too often
that Constantine converted
out of convenience.

This is mostly to say,
it delegitimizes
the results.

Or tries to.

It says,
the Catholic Church
killed the Roman Empire
and woe betide!

When what it really means
is that the Catholic Church
continued the Roman Empire
straight to the present day,
a seamless continuity
that saw a considerable 
improvement
of affairs.
