@brilliant No need to be snarky. You could find a halfway decent book on the history of the Church, ideally, one which talks in length about Athanasius.

comment What's the first recorded case of the Church's persecuting heretics?
@Jay The narrative, as best as I've seen, is that Constantine summoned the bishops to enshrine the doctrine of Arius, but when the bishops decided against that, he followed (it would not be the last time that a governmental executive was decided against without war). That said, the people who attended the council then had to go out and argue, "see, we just had a council, and everyone agreed".

comment Protestant numbering of the 10 Commandments
I don't really think it proper to call it "munging." While we are combining all of the "no other God stuff" into one, they are combining all of the "do not covet stuff".

comment Where did the ecclesiastical offices go?
I once read someone who said that the transition from "episcopai" to "bishop" was an obvious process. Personally, I view it as clear as tar.

It might be a good idea to note that Constantine actually favored the Arian teachings, so this was a case of the Church deciding against the ruler.

If this is re-opened, I will definitely vote to re-close it, and I've already given it a -1. It demonstrates a clearly combative tone but, more to the point, it shows, at least to me, a lack of willingness to legwork.
