The Catholic Church was considered to have been born from the side of Christ when the soldier opened his side with a lance and blood and water flowed out. It was formally started at Pentecost, fifty days later, when the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles to confirm them in all truth and lead them to preach to and baptize all nations. ''from A Catholic Dictionary, ''edited by'' Donald Attwater, ''Second edition, revised 1957'''''''Constantine.''' The name of eleven emperors of Rome at Constantinople. Used by itself, the first, Constantine the Great, is always meant; for he greatly influenced the history of the world by (a) first the toleration and then the privileging of Christianity, (b) the summoning of the first ecumenical council, at Niceae, and recognition of the supremacy of the church in religious matters, and (c) moving the imperial throne to Constantinople. He himself was only a catechumen, who received Baptism on his deathbed; in the Byzantine rite he is venerated as a saint (May 211) with his mother St. Helen: "the holy, illustrious and great emperors, crowned by God and qual with the Apostles," and also in other Eastern calendars.
