  Article:   THE “DISADVANTAGES” OF THE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM GRANTED BY CONSTANTINE THE GREAT TO THE CHRISTIANS. SOME PATRISTIC REFERENCES.

Authors:  . 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  In the present paper, the authors try to point out the so-called “disadvantages” brought about by the Edict of Milan. The authors do not assert that this Edict was a bad thing for Christians; on the contrary, it was through the providence of God that the Christians enjoyed, at the beginning of the fourth century, religious freedom. What the authors try to prove is the fact that religious freedom was a turning point in the history of the Christian Church which brought with it not only advantages, but also inherent disadvantages that were not possible in the periods of persecution.

Keywords: emperor, bishops, morals, doctrine of the Church, imperial interference.
