It wasn't called by the "catholic church" but by Constantine to create a single imperial religion that would unite all the disparate religious groups that existed within the Roman Empire. What the world ended up with was a catholic church that was an amalgam of Sol Invictus (Roman) Mithras (Persian) Judaism (Palestine) with Greek and Northern European belief thrown in to make up something that would be acceptable to everyone throughout the Empire. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.0.237 (talk) 10:35, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Please stop with the conspiracy theories. Which is more probable? 1) 200+ people meet somewhere, they debate and argue and yet reach some sort of consensus about what they actually believe and call it a day or 2) that Emperor Constantine bullies/bribes/forces the same 200+ people to shut up while transforming their entire religion beyond recognition, doing this using these 200+ people as a fig leaf and somehow managing to achieve that the same 200+ people and their congregations (many thousands of people) somehow all choose to remain completely silent after returning home from Nicaea? Occam's razor applies. 83.89.43.14 (talk) 10:18, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
