It seems likely that Constantine was genuinely a Christian, although he may not have really understood what the faith involved. Certainly his mother converted to Christianity and henceforth can only be described as a religious fanatic. His sons and successors were also uncompromising Christians.
Some say that Constantine's original and perhaps strongest interest in Christianity is that he saw it as a force for unifying and controlling the empire.

How the Church assert control throughout the late Roman and medieval church?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Church's mission as always been to be Christ to the world, and bring the people to Christ. She has never sought to "control" anything. Individuals, some quite sinful, have, over the centuries, sought control in one way or another, and there have been efforts by the church, for instance the Roman Inquisition, where the Church has sought to control heresy for the good of the people who were adversely affected. There have been some Popes who were a scandal to the Church, and for many centuries, the Vatican, by default, was the only government in Rome. Still and all, the church, for the main, has always been a servant, the "Bride of Christ."

Why was the Byzantine Empire considered a theocracy?
The Byzantine Empire (the surviving, and Greek, part of the Roman Empire) was not a theocracy; it had a secular ruler, not a priest as ruler. However, the Greek Orthodox Church had a significant role in Greek society, and in matters where the Church had a considerable interest, its concerns would have been taken into account, and even guided the ruler's decision. As the Byzantine Empire shrank over its 1000 year history, the Greek Patriarch of Constantinople came to be the undisputed head of the Church in the Byzantine Empire, but he was never actual or defacto ruler of the state.
How much power did Henry 8th get when he became Church of England?
Anglican Answer!Henry had always been Church of England! He had the powers he inherited from his father as King of England and in the Church in England he was a member of a Church which was held in deep respect by all but a few of his countrymen. Anglicanism, was Catholicity with a n English face.His struggle was not Anglican against Catholic as many try to persuade us, but Anglican against Roman. The struggle had been rampaging through the Church in Western Europe since the Eastern Church had been forced out by papal demands in 1054.

As a young person she wanted an education and developed an interest in church reform. When she was in her early twenties, she wanted to have an advantagious marriage to a noble. When Henry started showing an interest, she might have been afraid at first, but saw her advantage when he promised her his first marriage would be annulled.

In her last days, she might have desired a quick death.
