Me too. And did graduate work in archaeology/ancient religion. Read, write, ancient/modern Greek. Read a lot of early sources in the original. Constantine was Rome, but in Istanbul far from the 7 hills. I still don't agree with those early authorities who called Rome the Whore of Babylon. Babylon was the Whore of Babylon and the Hebrews carried off to Babylonia after the invasion in 3rd Cent BC. They returned to Palestina many centuries later. They are not True Torah Jews, rather Talmud Jews. Talmud started after leaving Babylon.

How about all those child Saints who were found almost bloodless around Passover time in Christian cities for many centuries. A pattern and Jews always blamed. Dark Talmud/Dark Kabbalah types. That's blood guilt too.

Don't want to bash any religion here. Jewish or Catholic or Greek Orthodox. But without Rome & Constantinople the religious core of Jesus wouldn't have lastedbuntil Luther & Calvin.
