then it's just personal POV and SYNTHESIS. And then removing stuff you personally don't like or have problems with. You act as if this "Constantine formalized or legalized the
Christianity of the time" is some concocted view of some past Knowledge (XXG) editor...when it's not. Your position is what needs to be sourced and proven. Knowledge (XXG) does NOT care waht is "true", only if something is SOURCED. And the view that Constantine did in fact issue an "edict" in 313 A.D., etc etc, is the sourced and established view.

are indeed true. And the phrase "newly recognized catholic church" is NOT necessarily referring to the "Gallienus" part of it, but the
Constantine aspect of it. So? What's the big problem? It was "newly recognized" around the time of Constantine. Who doesn't know that fact?
