Christianity became the official state religion of the Roman Empire under the 4th century Roman Emperor Constantine, mainly for political reasons. From this union of state and religion sprung what is known of today as Roman Catholicism.
Depends on what you consider Christianity.
"Catholicism" was decreed as a national religion of the Roman Empire on February 27, 380 with the Edict of Thessalonica. Unfortunately too many pagans were involved in this venture so the result was a corrupt version of the beautiful, loving doctrines brought to us by the Messiah. EX: Christ taught to turn the other cheek, love your enemies and treat everyone with respect. It was the Catholic policy to send men out to kill heretics. Several Popes sent Crusaders out to kill Muslims; Russian Catholics established hated pogroms against the Jews; The Inquisitions burned people alive who disagreed with the Catholic doctrines. Hardly acts of decent Christians.
To answer your question: Never.
