Constantine the Great was brought up by a Christian mother. He had little contact with his father, who was a pagan. He was exposed to paganism at the court of the emperor Diocletian. It was said that he converted to Christianity when he felt that the Christian god was a better guarantor of victory when he embarked on a civil war. He favoured Christianity and tried to arbitrate between quarrelling Christian doctrines, but he also promoted the cult of Sol Invictus (Undefeated Sun). It was said that he got baptised just before his death.

Why did Constantine try to strengthen the Christian Church?
Emperor Constantine believed that a united and disciplined Christian faith would help him in his role as emperor, by uniting and controlling the people of his empire. But not only did the leaders of his Church quarrel about doctrine and ritual, he had to contend with the Gnostic Christians, Arians and Donatists. He set about crushing these rival Christian faiths, and all three had largely disappeared by the end of the fourth century. He called the Council of Nicaea in an attempt to resolve differences of doctrine and enforce unity in the Church itself, as a prerequisite for its role in unifying the empire.

What is the stand of Mormon church when it talks about divorce?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) believes that marriage and families are ordained of God, but understands that divorce is sometimes necessary. The Church encourages couples to do all they can to try to resolve their problems and preserve marriages, and provides many resources to strengthen families and relationships. Despite this, divorce is still quite common among Church members, and the Church will not interfere with a couple's decision to get a divorce. You can learn more about the Church's stance on divorce at the "Related Links" below.
