Roman gladiators and the question of Christianity?
I can see Gladiator. Everyone can agree that something is not accepted in religion Catholic … Not accepted Christianity. However, the main Roman religion is Christianity, why is it allowed in the first place? Why go against their religion to the coliseum? Does this mean that the idea of Gladiator was extinguished after Christianity?
Christianity, when he finally got power in Rome, do not stop these horrific acts, but he managed to Rome long after settling in Constantinople (now Istanbul). Constantine conquered Rome and tried to let Christianity exists, but the aristocracy powerul wanted nothing of it, so finally, Constantine moved the capital to Constantinople, birthplace of the Greek Orthodox Church of the first "Roman" churches. The Roman Catholic Church has never forgiven the Pope Orthodox? Took about 30 years ago Greek Archbishop in Rome (itself is too proud to go to Athens). However, the Pope has done to his pride, when the grand old man approached the room Archimandratos to meet the Pope sitting in the throne of St. Peter. The Pope stood up and went to meet his visitor, who drops to the ground and kissed the feet! (Superiority wonderful Christian, what?)
