Roman Christianity

Roman Christianity refers to the branch of Christianity that developed in Rome and became the foundation for the Roman Catholic Church. It emphasizes the authority of the Pope and the importance of tradition alongside Scripture. This form of Christianity played a significant role in shaping Western civilization, influencing art, law, and morality. Key beliefs include the sacraments, particularly the Eucharist, and the concept of salvation through faith and good works. During the early centuries, Roman Christianity spread throughout the Empire, ultimately becoming the state religion under Emperor Constantine in the 4th century.
