Roman Catholicism, wrote Fyodor Dostoevsky “has proclaimed a new Christ, not like the former one
but one who has been seduced by the third temptation of the devil — the temptation of the kingdoms
of the world: “All these things will I give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me!”[1] This is the
main reproach made by the Orthodox to the Roman Church. I find it entirely justified, and I would ad
that the Catholic false Christ is in fact Yahweh in disguise.
Unlike the Patriarch of Constantinople or later that of Moscow, who only claimed the “spiritual sword
(sacred authority), the medieval popes also claimed the “temporal sword” (secular power). Not only d
they directly govern one of the richest principalities in Italy, but they claimed to rule over kings and
emperors (read “The Failed Empire: the Medieval Origin of the European Disunion”).
The False Donation of Constantine

To justify their project of universal monarchy, the popes employed an army of legal scholars who
developed a new canon law to prevail over feudal and customary law, while using forgeries to make
their new system appear to be the oldest.
The most famous medieval forgery is the “Donation of Constantine.” It was fabricated in a papal
scriptorium between 750 and 850, and later included in a collection of a hundred other false decrees
and synodal acts known today as the Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals. The main purpose of these false
decrees was to invent precedents for the exercise of the sovereign authority of the Bishop of Rome ov
the universal Church, on the one hand, and over all Western secular sovereigns, on the other. These
forgeries were incorporated in the 12th century into the Decretum of Gratian which would become th
basis of all canon law.
The Donation of Constantine is the centerpiece of this massive enterprise of falsification of history. It
can be regarded as the Constitution that the Roman Church gave Western Europe. It probably had
more political influence than any other written document in human history.

By this document, Emperor Constantine the Great, out of gratitude for having been miraculously cure
of leprosy by the water of baptism, ceded “to Sylvester the universal pontiff and to all his successors
until at the end of the world” all the imperial insignia — pallium, scepter, diadem, tiara, purple cloak,
scarlet tunic — that is to say the totality of “the imperial greatness and the glory of our power.”
Constantine also ceded to pope Sylvester “both our [Lateran] palace and the city of Rome and all the
provinces, localities and cities of Italy or the western regions.” And to leave the pope full power over
the West, Constantine decided to withdraw to Byzantium; “for, where the supremacy of priests and th
head of the Christian religion has been established by a heavenly ruler, it is not fitting that there an
earthly ruler should have jurisdiction.” On this basis, for half a millennium, the popes would claim to
have received full imperial authority and the right to bestow this authority on the man of their choice
or to withdraw it from him if he falls short of their expectation. By virtue of this principle Gregory VI
forced the Germanic Emperor Henry IV to humble himself before him and recognize his suzerainty at
Canossa in January 1077.
Having received from Constantine full temporal power over the entire West, the popes would also
strive to transform all kingdoms into papal fiefs, and their kings into vassals. In 1059 Pope Nicholas I
gave southern Italy and Sicily (if he could conquer it) to the Norman adventurer Robert Guiscard, on
the condition that he pays homage to him. A few years later, Alexander II gave England to William of
Normandy under the same condition. Then Adrian IV (1154-1159) gave Ireland as a “hereditary
possession” to the King of England Henry II, because “all the islands are supposed to belong to the
Roman Church under ancient law, according to the donation of Constantine, who richly endowed
them.”[2] Slowly but surely, from one coup d’état to the next, thanks to its magic weapon of
excommunication, the pope became the most powerful overlord of Europe, receiving allegiance and
tribute from countless kings. All that on the basis of the authority conferred to him by the false
Donation of Constantine.
The forger of the Donation of Constantine was not content with asserting that the pope holds tempor
supremacy over the entire West. He also gave him spiritual supremacy over the entire world, meaning
practically, over all of Eastern Christianity. Constantine the Great is made to decree that the Bishop o
Rome “shall govern the four patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem and Constantinople, as
well as all the Churches of God throughout the entire world. And the pontiff who will now preside ove
the destiny of the most holy Roman Church will be the highest, the head of all priests in the whole
world, and all things will be regulated according to his decisions.” The Donation, of course, led to wh
we in the West call the Eastern Schism, but the Orthodox call the Western Schism. The pope’s claim
for supremacy over other patriarchs was a betrayal of the original conciliar constitution of the Church
an attempted coup against the principle of brotherly entente that was the condition for the Holy Spiri
to guide the universal Church.
While the Donation was used as a legal document by the papacy from the 11th century, its authenticit
or its validity were occasionally challenged. In the year 1001, in response to a request from Pope
Sylvester II to “restore” to the Holy See eight counties of Italy, Emperor Otto III denounced the
“negligence and incompetence” of the pontiffs, as well as “the lies forged by themselves” written “in
letters of gold” and placed “under the name of the great Constantine”.[3] At the beginning of the 13th
century, Walther von der Vogelweide, a poet close to Frederick II, did not dispute the origin of the
Donation but saw it as a great misfortune, which reversed the natural order of the world and caused
infinite suffering to the Europe.[4] Frederick II had his lawyers declare it unlawful: Constantine simp
had no right to make it. Innocent IV responded that, all things belonging to Christ, whom the Pope
represented on earth, the Donation was only a “restitution”.[5]
It was not until the 15th century that the fraudulent origin of the Donation began to be widely
recognized, through a fairly simple critical analysis (for example, how could Constantine evoke the
Patriarchate of Constantinople which did not yet exist?). And yet, no official apology was ever
presented by the Vatican for this diabolical hoax. In fact, nothing changed fundamentally in the
discourse and attitude of the papacy. Although unmasked as the second greatest liar on earth (the sel
proclaimed “chosen people” come first), the Church later resorted to the most ridiculous claim of
“papal infallibility” (1870).
Constantine the Mysterious

The popes used Constantine’s forged signature as the basis for their theocratic project. What else did
they make up under Constantine’s name? To what extent did they invent the Constantine that they
needed? How much credit deserves Constantine’s biography written by the clerical historian Eusebius
of Caesarea? This biography is presented by its author to have been written based on direct
conversation with Constantine. Recent academic editors of this Vita Constantini admit that “it has
proved extremely controversial,” with some scholars being “highly skeptical.”
Indeed, the integrity of Eusebius as a writer has often been attacked and his authorship of
the VC [Vita Constantini] denied by scholars eager to discredit the value of the evidence it
provides, with discussion focusing particularly on the numerous imperial documents which
are cited verbatim in the work.[6]
The Vita Constantini is believed to have been written in Greek, but it was only known until the 13th
century in the Latin translation attributed to the legendary Saint Jerome, as was the same author’s
Church History (the autobiography of the Church, so to speak). There is no guarantee that it was
written in the East, or before the 8th century. It may be as fake as the Donation of Constantine.
Outside Eusebius’s prose, there is not a single piece of evidence that Constantine was a Christian, or
even favorable to Christianity. Two panegyrics (public speeches of praise) of Constantine have been
preserved and they make no mention of Christianity. Instead, one contains the account of a vision
received by Constantine from the sun god Apollo, “with the sign of victory”, after which Constantine
placed himself under the protection of Sol Invictus.
What “Eusebius” writes — and allegedly heard from Constantine’s mouth — about the battle of the
Milvian Bridge is obviously a rewriting of that motif drawn from the imperial religion. When marchin
on Rome to overthrow Maxentius, Eusebius tells us, Constantine “saw with his own eyes, up in the sk
and resting over the sun, a cross-shaped trophy formed from light, and a text attached to it which sai
‘By this conquer’” (I,28). The following night, Christ appeared to him in a dream to confirm the vision
Constantine immediately had his troops paint the sign on their shields — turning Christ into powerfu
a military god — and won the battle. Our author wants us to believe he got this story from Constantin
himself:
If someone else had reported it, it would perhaps not be easy to accept; but since the
victorious Emperor himself told the story to the present writer a long while after, when I
was privileged with his acquaintance and company, and confirmed it with oaths, who could
hesitate to believe the account, especially when the time which followed provided evidence
for the truth of what he said? (I,28)[7]
I don’t know about you, but my feeling is that a good biographer would not write like that. Only a
dedicated liar would. The lie is actually proven by the fact that the arch built by Constantine to
commemorate his victory over Maxentius in Rome contains numerous representations of pagan deitie
and especially of the sun god Apollo, but not the slightest reference to Christ. Can there be a stronger
proof that “Eusebius” invented Constantine’s encounter with Christ?
The same author has this to say about the sign adopted by Constantine as a military standard (now
called the labarum):
This was something which the Emperor himself once saw fit to let me also set eyes on, God
vouchsafing even this. It was constructed to the following design. A tall pole plated with
gold had a transverse bar forming the shape of a cross. Up at the extreme top a wreath
woven of precious stones and gold had been fastened. On it two letters, intimating by its
first characters the name ‘Christ’, formed the monogram of the Saviour’s title, rho being
intersected in the middle by chi. These letters the Emperor also used to wear upon his
helmet in later times. (I,31)[8]
This Chi-Rho sign is today the coat of arms of the papacy. But archeology and numismatics have
proven that it predates Christianity. It is found, for example, on a drachma of Ptolemy III
Euergetes (246-222 BC) — between the eagle’ legs.
The Chi-Rho even appears on a coin minted by Maxentius, whom Constantine is said to have defeated
precisely by this sign. It is clear that the Chi-Rho — or chrismon or christogram — was a pre-Christia
imperial symbol stolen by the Church. It is unclear, however, what it stood for before Christianity.[9]
As it is often found inside by a vegetal wreath, it may have referred to a cosmic principle associated t
the resurrection of Nature at Easter time, a symbol of Anastasis. And since the Chi-Rho appears
behind the head of Constantine in a mosaic in Hinton St Mary, Dorset, England (lead picture), and
since Constantine liked to be portrayed with a solar or radiant crown, it is likely that Chi-Rho has a
solar significance.[10]
Some see it as a symbol borrowed from the cult of Mithras, closely linked to Sol Invictus. The
analogies between Mithras and Jesus are so numerous that Justin and Tertullian accused Mithras of
imitatio diabolica (watch this ten-minute video or this longer scholarly presentation). We also
know that several Italian churches, including Saint Peter’s Basilica, were built on Mithraic crypts.[11]
Note on the frontispiece of Saint Peter’s that the P comes before the X, suggesting an acronym
beginning with P. Could it be that the sign was originally a Latin short for PAX? I find it unlikely,
because of its frequent association with the Greek letters α and ω.
The main point is this: we do not have a single archaeological clue that Constantine claimed or even
promoted the Christian faith. And we have serious reasons to believe that Eusebius lied. We do know
however, that he had himself represented as the sun god Apollo in Rome as well as in Constantinople
where there stood a 100-feet-high column topped with a statue of himself with a radiating crown.[12]
Sol Invictus was publicly celebrated on December 25, but also every Sunday (day of the sun), by a law
enacted in March 321. Since the earliest reference to December 25 as the date of Christ’s birth does n
come before 354 (in the Depositio Martyrum), seventeen years after Constantine’s death, and since it
was Emperor Theodosius I who in 380 banned the cult of Sol Invictus to make December 25 a
Christian holiday, we have evidence that Christianity usurped elements of the cult of Sol Invictus. Th
evergreen wreath of Christmas is a legacy from pre-Christian times.
By the way, Theodosius was of Phoenician origin, and Phoenicians were indistinguishable from Jews
(many, if not most, became Jews after the fall of Carthage). Does that point to a vengeful Phoenician-
Jewish conspiracy to conquer Rome from within through Christianity, as Flavio Barbiero speculated
(read “How Yahweh Conquered God”)? That may be for another article. But remember that sain
Augustine was also, most probably, a Phoenician (he lived in Carthage and claimed to speak Punic),
and that he wrote a eulogy of Theodosius (City of God V,26).
We know that there was a shift in religious policy after Constantine’s dynasty, when Theodosius
conquered Rome. But the shift may have been much more radical than commonly assumed. The cult
Sol Invictus, which Constantine had intended to make the unifying religion of the Empire, was
replaced by the cult of the Jewish Messiah Jesus and his jealous, theoclastic god.[13] The shift may
have involved a complete rewriting of recent history; Theodosius needed to claim continuity with
Constantine, so he commissioned pseudo-Eusebius (who is also pseudo-Jerome) to write the official
“Church History.”
The problems with Constantine’s Christian faith are numerous. Here is another clue that it is coverin
up something. We are told that Constantine convened and presided over the first Council of Nicaea in
325, and forced all the bishops present to sign the profession of faith drawn up on the occasion again
the doctrine of Arius. But Eusebius himself also tells us that Constantine later favored Arianism and
was baptized into this “heresy” by his relative Eusebius of Nicomedia, an Arianist that he had made
patriarch of Constantinople. His son Constantius II followed the same creed. Is it credible that a
Roman emperor of sane mind would thus revert his own policy, and destroy the unity of Church that
he had just enforced? We are led to suspect that the Council of Nicaea, of which no trace survives
outside Eusebius, is a fiction fabricated long after the death of Constantine. Arianism itself is a big
mystery, by the way: it has left virtually no known material trace, even in Spain where it is supposed
have been the religion of the ruling Visigoths for three centuries. This is a great puzzlement for
archeologists like Ralf Bockmann (“The Non-Archaeology of Arianism,” 2014), or Alexandra
Chavarria Arnau (“Finding invisible Arians,” 2017),[14] suggesting that what is presented today as a
Christian heresy might have been something totally different. What exactly? It is impossible to say,
apart from the fact that it resisted the claim that a man could be God.
There are so many inconsistencies in the history of Christianity up to the early sixth century, which
you can read in my book Anno Domini. Some are actually hinted in casual mentions by unsuspectin
scholars. Here is, for example, a remark from the editor of Boethius’s Consolation of Philosophy (524
What we notice in Boethius’s works — at least in those that are authentic — is the absence
of any hint, no matter how distant, of the Christian religion. Judging by his written words
alone, we could be led to believe that this religion had appeared on earth the previous day,
and that its moral teaching and dogmas were still confined to the catacombs.[15]
Boethius wrote the Consolation while awaiting death and is considered a Christian martyr. Does that
sound plausible?
How to move an empire?

The Vita Constantini was probably written centuries after the Church History ascribed to the same
author. It is fully consistent with the Donation of Constantine and may belong to the same period, an
be just as fraudulent. It puts special emphasis on Constantine’s translatio of the capital of the Roman
Empire from Italy to the Bosphorus, so as to leave the pope complete dominion over the entire West.
That notion of translatio imperii is saturated with contradictions, as I have pointed out before. First,
Constantine did not move his capital to the East, since he himself was from Moesia, in the Balkans.
Academic historiography recognizes that Constantine had never set foot in Rome before conquering i
from Maxentius. Constantine’s father Constantius was also from Moesia, as was his colleague and riv
Licinius. So was his predecessor Diocletian, who lived mainly further east in Nicomedia, on the easter
bank of the Bosphorus.[16]
Secondly, Constantine cannot have moved the imperial capital from Rome to Byzantium, because
Rome had already ceased to be the imperial capital before Constantine was born, being replaced by
Milan in 286. By the time of Diocletian and Constantine, all of Italy had fallen into anarchy during th
“Crisis of the Third Century” (235-284). Under Diocletian, Rome was already “a dead city.”[17]
Besides, can we really believe in the transfer of an imperial capital a thousand miles away, with its
high administration and senatorial nobility, leading to the metamorphosis of a Roman empire into
another Roman empire with completely different language, culture, religion and political structure
(read “Byzantine Revisionism Unlocks World History”)? And for what purpose? For Ferdinan
Lot, a specialist of Late Antiquity who has thought long and hard about this question, “the founding o
Constantinople is a political enigma”. In a desperate effort to make sense of it, he concludes that
“Constantinople was born from the caprice of a despot prey to intense religious exaltation,” and that,
through this “political madness,” “Constantine believed he was regenerating the Roman Empire,” but
that, “unwittingly, he founded the Empire so rightly called ‘Byzantine’.”[18]
Such unreasonable speculation only proves the failure of academic historiography to give credibility t
a story that should be analyzed, not as serious history, but as an element of propaganda produced by
the same brains as the Donation of Constantine. This paradigm of translatio imperii is probably a
legend invented to mask the opposite and very real movement of translatio studii, the transfer to the
West of the Greek culture preserved by Byzantium, a transfer that began before the crusades and
culminated in the plunder of 1204.
Spatio-temporal oddities
When one starts questioning about Constantine and the relationship between the two Roman empires
chronological oddities appear, quickly reaching a critical mass that makes the standard narrative abou
ancient Rome collapse under your feet.
That narrative is based on sources that are impossible to trace before the 11th century, some of them
popping up much later. It has been argued, for example, that the works of Tacitus, discovered in the
15th century by Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459), “betray the pen of a 15th century humanist” (Polydor
Hochart).[19]
The architecture of Rome is itself inconsistent with the narrative. “Where is the Rome of the Middle
Ages,” asked British historian James Bryce, “the Rome of Alberic and Hildebrand and Rienzi? the
Rome which dug the graves of so many Teutonic hosts; whither the pilgrims flocked; whence came th
commands at which kings bowed? … To this question there is no answer. Rome, the mother of the art
has scarcely a building to commemorate those times.”[20] There may be an answer: this dark hole of
the Middle Ages is an illusion. What we regard as constructions of Roman Antiquity are really from th
Middle Ages, and sometimes even from the late Middle Ages.
We have always known that Roman Antiquity is, to some extent, a ghost conjured up by those who
claimed to produce its “Renaissance”. But to what extent exactly? Consider that in 1144 the
Commune of Rome was founded as a Republic, after Pise in 1085, Milano in 1097, Gene in 1099,
Florence in 1100. Rome used the acronym SPQR on its buildings and coins, while around the same
time forty-two other medieval Italian cities used the acronym SPQ followed by the initial of the city’s
name: SPQP for Pisa, SPQT for Tusculum, SPQL for Lucera, etc. In 1362, the Roman poet
Antonio Pucci pointed that SPQR stood for the Italian words Sanato Popolo Qumune Romano (“The
Senate and People of the Commune of Rome”).[21] These facts are not compatible with the theory th
SPQR was coined in 509 BC and means Senatus Populusque Romanus. Most likely, SPQR was never
used before the founding of the Commune of Rome in the twelfth century. Now what unsuspecting
French scholar Robert Folz writes brings to mind an alternative interpretation:
In 1143, the Capitol became the residence of the Council of the Commune of Rome. … In an
environment where the past was the object of such a passion as in Rome, any attempt at
new creation had to take the aspect of a restoration of the past: the Council of the
Commune was called Senate, the senatorial era was used in the dating of acts, while the
sign SPQR also reappeared. It all happened as if they were returning to the tradition of
republican Rome.[22]
Another way to look at it is: It all happened as if they were inventing the tradition of republican Rom
while claiming to revive it. This was common practice, in a world where antiquity meant prestige and
prestige meant power. When the cities of Reims and Trier were competing for the honor of crowning
emperor Otto the Great, Reims came up with the claim of having been founded by Remus, and Trier
responded by claiming to have been founded by Trebeta, a contemporary of Abraham. Both produced
texts to back their claim.[23] Some medieval Roman patriots had the motive, means and opportunity
to fabricate their city’s antiquity. Petrarch (1304-1374), who “discovered” Cicero and simultaneously
became a Ciceronian, was part of a circle of Italian propagandists who celebrated Rome’s past glory.
“His intentions,” writes French medievalist Jacques Heers, “were deliberately political.” He was “one
the most virulent writers of his time, involved in a great quarrel against the papacy of Avignon,” doin
his utmost to bring it back to Rome.”[24]
These are bold hypotheses. But if we have learned one thing during the last 20 years, it is that history
is often a lie, sometimes a very big lie. The history of Rome was written in the context of its
competition with Constantinople: it is comparable to Jacob’s lie in order to get his father’s blessing a
cheat Esau of his birthright. The question I have raised here are legitimate.
Those who are interested might enjoy my book Anno Domini. It raises more
questions than it gives answers.
But one thing seems pretty sure: the Empire of Lies has a long, very long
history of lies behind it. The false Donation of Constantine and the false
biography of Constantine are its original sin.
