Episode 6
In May 325, Emperor Constantine called a council of bishops together outside of Nicomedia to settle doctrinal disputes and align the followers of Christ under a universal catholic church. This was to end the ongoing conflict between Arius and Athanasius. While history remembers this ecumenical council as a unifying moment for Christians, it did not really play out that way in the immediate aftermath.
