Best Answer

More than anyone before him, Emperor Constantine ensured the acceptance, success and long-term survival of Christianity. True, Christianity was already well established and generally tolerated in the Roman Empire, especially in the Greek-speaking east, long before the fourth century, but Constantine gave the religion state patronage, offered career preferment to those who claimed to be Christians, and began the long persecution of the pagan temples. From this time, and with this impetus, Christianity spread quickly in the Roman Empire.

Why Rome is holy?

To Roman Catholics, Rome is a holy city because the Vatican is in Rome, and the Vatican is the organizational center of the Roman Catholic Church.
