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.

Later the bishop of Rome also took on the title of Pope.


Why Rome is holy?

To Roman Catholics, Rome is a holy city because the Vatican is in Rome, and the Vatican is the organizational center of the Roman Catholic Church. We could also note that historically, Christianity only became popular after the Roman Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity and gave the religion his support, so in a very real sense, the Roman Empire, and hence the city of Rome, were central to the success of Christianity in establishing itself as the world's most popular religion.

Well, after Jesus death, Saul known as Paul was persecuting the Christians. After Jesus Christ appeared to him, he became a Christian. Now Paul was a natural born citizen of Rome, so whenever he had the chance he traveled to Rome. Possibly to visit his family.

Why did many Romans turn to the christian Church as the mighty roman empire was close to collapse?

The Romans converted to Christianity because the emperor Constantine had a dream the day before a battle and saw the holy cross. The next day Rome won the battle. Constantine therefore turned Christianity into Rome's official religion. The conversion to Christianity wasn't because Rome was coming to an end but simply because it spread so far and Constantine had that dream.
