Video Description (from Youtube)

http://www.SecretInfoClub.com

You sometimes hear people claim that the Catholic Church was founded by the Emperor Constantine, who reigned in the early 300s.

If so, the Catholic Church could not be the original Church founded by Jesus.

That's precisely why this claim is made.

But it's a false claim.

As I reveal in this video, the Catholic Church existed long before Constantine came on the scene.

What about the related claim that Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire?

That's not true either.
