Was this really the future Constantine envisioned when he made the move to christianize the empire?

This was only a thing in the politically fractured West; in the East the Emperor remained the most important leader among Christians. I don't think he can really be blamed for the feudal society that made papalism possible.

Is this what passes for sainthood? Christcucks would've made Shapur II a saint for killing Julian if it weren't for him prosecuting them in persia

Giving Christianity any sort of respect instead of massacring all Christians and taxing them to bankruptcy is why the feudal papacy ever existed.

Pagan persecutions were a complete failure that backfired and made Christians look like the victims of arbitrary punishment. Your ideology has nothing to do with actual history.
