Home › Timeline › The Capture › Edict of Milan; Cunctos populos
The Edict of Milan makes the faith legal. Cunctos populos makes it the empire's official religion and names everyone else a heretic.
In plain words
The Edict of Milan makes the faith legal in 313; by 380 an imperial decree makes it the empire's religion and calls everyone else a heretic. Legal, then compulsory: the throne does not attack the altar, it sits down on it.
The mechanism
CAPTURE — legal, then compulsory. The throne does not attack the altar; it sits down on it
