After the mainstream Christian Church succeeded in becoming the official religion of the Roman Empire, it appropriated those pagan temples it had not already succeeded in taking over, burnt all the pagan texts and intensified the persecution of pagans.
The Church began a campaign to eliminate all the gnostic Christians and burnt their books, with the result that some were hurredly buried at Nag Hammadi in Egypt, to be discovered in the twentieth century.
The Church set out to have absolute, unified control over the beliefs of all the citizens of empire, but in spite of all its efforts was never to achieve the unity that Constantine had sought.
Christianity had largely achieved its ambitions by the end of the fourth century, and within a hundred years the Dark Ages descended.
