The Tragedy of the Church – The Legacy of the Council of Nicaea
Synopsis
In 325, the Council of Nicaea was organised by the Roman Emperor Constantine to lay the foundations for the functioning of the Christian Church. Official history records that, during the era of Christian persecution, Constantine abandoned the Roman religion to convert to the nascent religion of Christianity, thus ending the persecution and contributing to the prodigious growth in the number of believers.
However, with this council, Christianity fell into a trap, a trap that would lead to serious deviations for the Church, the consequences of which are still felt today...
Description
This essay explores the historical origins and theological implications of the Council of Nicaea, challenging the traditional narrative and examining how this event shaped the Christian Church as we know it today.
The author analyses the political motivations behind the council and reveals how the decisions made at that time continue to influence modern religious practice.
