The Catholic Church was made the sole legitimate creed (and therefore the state religion) by the Edict of Thessalonica issued in 380 by co-emperors Gratian, Theodosius I and Valentinian II. At that time the Catholic Church was a church which subscribed to the Nicene Creed, a particular interpretation of the trinity and which was opposed to different interpretations by other versions and sects of Christianity. It had two branches, the church of the west (Latin) and the church of the east (Greek). After these two churches split, they came to be called Catholic and Orthodox respectively. The purpose of the edict was to ban other versions and sects of Christianity which were branded as heretic. It also begun their persecution, particularly that of Arian Christianity, which was popular in the empire. The edict also banned paganism.

Constantine was favourable to Christianity. He finalised the end of the Great Persecution of Christians, promoted Christians within the imperial bureaucracy and tried to arbitrate disputes between competing Christian doctrines. He also built important Christian churches: the original Basilica of St Peter's in Rome, the St John Lateran's Basilica (the city of Rome's first Cathedral and the original residence of the Popes), the Church of the Holy Apostles and the Hagia Eirene in Constantinople and Church of the Holy Sepulchre, in Jerusalem. Therefore, Constantine helped Christianity to become an established religion in the Roman Empire and to spread further.

AnswerConstruction of the original St. Peter's Basilica was hindered by the difficult terrain. However, Emperor Constantine wanted to build the church on the eaxact location where Peter was supposed to have been buried. This mighty edifice took a long time to build and by the time of Constantine's death in 337, only the portions that stood above the monument to Peter had been completed.The basilica had been built on the site of a pagan temple. Even as a Christian cathedral, pagan feelings remained. Pope Leo the Great (440-61 CE) reprimanded his congregation for performing devotions to the Sun god on the steps of St. Peter's before turning their backs to it and entering the Basilica to perform Christian worship.
