Episode 21: Ante-Nicene Popes Part 2

The second part of our tour of the popes before the Council of Nicaea will start in a fairly stable situation where Christianity was largely tolerated, but we will quickly move into the first formal, centralized persecution of the Christian Church. The third centry of the common era was not a great time to live in the Roman Empire, especially as a Christian. We are right around the corner from Constantine, but it will be a rough ride to get there.
