From that standpoint, Christ came at a very propitious moment during the<br />

collapse <strong>of</strong> the Roman Empire, not to condemn man but to redeem and save him.<br />

This is how Christianity came to replace the blind belief <strong>of</strong> paganism by the innerknowledge<br />

and spirituality <strong>of</strong> creative reason. Very rapidly, the new religion<br />

became the religion <strong>of</strong> human fraternity, and became an institution <strong>of</strong> true power<br />

<strong>of</strong> reason using mind against force. Christianity had abandoned the principle <strong>of</strong><br />

inequality, which was the law <strong>of</strong> pagan Rome, and replaced it with a principle <strong>of</strong><br />

proportionality that was exclusively oriented to the benefit <strong>of</strong> others. Making your<br />

fellow man happy was the new social order. With the advent <strong>of</strong> Christianity, class<br />

distinctions began to disappear. When a small glass is full, it is as filled as a tall<br />

glass. It was because <strong>of</strong> that power <strong>of</strong> reason that the first Christians were<br />

persecuted. For the first time in the history <strong>of</strong> mankind, the {hereditary principle}<br />

<strong>of</strong> privileged classes was replaced by the principle <strong>of</strong> the {advantage <strong>of</strong> the other},<br />

which became a personal governing principle representing the most powerful<br />

cement for the political unity <strong>of</strong> this unique human species.<br />

The fight between paganism and Christianity continued inside <strong>of</strong> the Church<br />

itself in the form <strong>of</strong> heresies such as Aryanism and Manicheanisms. Paganism has<br />

had a hidden place in the Roman Curia for centuries and it is still alive today in the<br />

form <strong>of</strong> fundamentalism. In order to maintain the so-called world order <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Roman Empire, Roman Emperor, Constantine, established the right <strong>of</strong> the State to<br />

supervise the exercise <strong>of</strong> religions. This is how the theocentric order <strong>of</strong><br />

ultramontanism was born. Thus, the Emperor became the supreme pontiff <strong>of</strong> both<br />

pagan cults and <strong>of</strong> Christianity, the head <strong>of</strong> the Pantheon <strong>of</strong> gods. This is how the<br />

Curia <strong>of</strong> the Church <strong>of</strong> Rome was penetrated by paganism during the fourth<br />

century. Imperial Bishops joined together with the theologian Emperor. Gradually,<br />

Constantine established himself as the referee <strong>of</strong> religions and the leader <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Bishops. He became the sovereign pontiff <strong>of</strong> the two Councils <strong>of</strong> Arles (314) and<br />

<strong>of</strong> Nicee (325), pr<strong>of</strong>fered the exclusion <strong>of</strong> Arius for heresy.<br />
