I ran out of my regular paper and page 35 marked the beginning of my use of another, much lower quality paper. Grrrr. It’s so absorbant and bleedy.
By the way, the “interpret it however you want” was pretty much the way they got the Arians to agree. What heresy did they quell, exactly?
Also, despite the heresies surviving, this is the end of ‘Hairesis!’ Next chapter, ‘Dies Irae,’ coming right up. Hope the change of pace was refreshing instead of jarring.

More hours later...
Arius: I'm not saying Jesus was JUST a dude-
A bishop: YES you are!
Other bishops: Kill him! Heresy! Shut up! Heresy!
Arius: He was a very very special dude!
Another bishop: Heresy!
Arians: He was a very special duuuuuuude.
A different bishop: Stop singing!
Constantine: HRRARRGGG!
A startled bishop: He-
Constantine: Here's how this is gonna work. We're going with "homoousios." That will satisfy the orthodox bishops. And as for the Arians, well, you can interpret the word however you want. You, Arius, will be officially condemned and your writings will be burnt.
Arius: Awwwww.
Arians: Awwawawww.
Constantine: That's the way it has to be. Okay? We all unified now? GREAT. I have building plans to get to.
And that is how the Christian church was formed.
It’s all refreshing to me. Thanks for the laughs…..and the clarification of history, including St. Nick’s first appearance in red.
