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.

How is the Catholic Church and Roman emperors connected to each other?
Well, for the first three centuries, the Roman emperors tried to suppress the Church by killing all the Christians on the basis of irreligion! Then in the early 4th century, Emperor Constantine issued a proclamation of toleration and allowed Christianity to grow unhindered. Later in the Empire, Christianity became the state religion.
How would the growth of Christianity been affected if emperor Constantine had not become a Christian?
Galerius issued the Edict of Toleration, permitting freedom of religion throughout the Roman Empire and thereby ending the Great Persecution of the early years of the fourth century. Thus, even if Constantine had remained a pagan, Christianity would have once again been legal, and would have continued to grow. However, it is likely that Constantine would not have enacted the Edict of Milan, providing Christianity with advantages and privileges. It must be a matter of opinion as to whether Christianity was destinated to outgrow paganism. Either way, without the financial patronage and imperial support that Constantine provided, and with the temples left in peace to minister to the pagans, Christianity would probably never have totally dominated the Roman Empire in the way that it did.
Did the Roman Catholic Church grow under gallic influence after the fall of western rome?
No it did not. The theology of Latin or Western Christianity (this was the original name of Catholicism) was quite fully developed by the time of the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. If there had been a Gallic influence it would have been during the days if the Romans. Do not forget that Gaul was part of the Roman empire. The Gauls were under the Romans for nearly five centuries and became thoroughly Romanised. In Gaul there was a Gallic-Roman aristocracy. The growth of Catholicism beyond the area of the western part of the Roman Empire after its fall was due to missionaries sent by the pope and to the Franks, who took over Gaul and conquered an area which was similar to that of what used to be West Germany.
