Emperor Theodosius I made Christianity the official state religion of Rome in 381, thereby implicitly considering all citizens of the empire to be Christians, regardless of personal belief.

By an edict of 381, Theodosius declared Manichæans to be without civil rights and incapable of testamentary disposition. In the following year he condemned them to death.


Worship at pagan temples was outlawed in 391, although this was not uniformly enforced. The triumphant Christian church was encouraged to destroy and pillage pagan temples, thereby vastly enriching the church..


In 392, laws against pagans and non-Catholic Christians made their will invalid when contested by Christian heirs. Celebratory games and pagan holy days were banned and the worship of household deities was banned, even in private.

How did paul help promte the spread of chistianity?

Paul helped promote the spread of Christianity by his preachings, his traveling to the various places in his ministry, and his letters. However his most important contribution to the spread of Christianity was the fact that he opened the religion to all people, both Jew and Gentile. Because of Paul's ministry, Christianity became a universal faith and not just a Jewish sect as it was originally.Paul helped promote the spread of Christianity by his preachings, his traveling to the various places in his ministry, and his letters.

How did the decline of Rome help spread Christianity?

Christianity did not contribute to the collapse of the empire. It contributed to a greater sense of unity and more stability. Christianity became the religion of the masses in the empire. It was declared a tolerated religion because the great persecution of Christians by Diocletian had created serious unrest. Once the state acknowledged Christianity, unrest ceased and the state regained legitimacy in the eyes of the Christian masses.
