How they shaped the Catholic Church during the Roman Empire

Most of the time, the Muslims of North Africa were once Christian heart, and to this day, they have produced Pope Catholic Pope who left their own marks in the church.

Their Pope was in the era of the Roman Empire, which extended across Hyundai Tunisia, northeastern Algeria, and the western coast of Libya.

“North Africa was an ancient Christian Bible belt.”

Many Catholics in Africa expects the Pope to return to the continent for the first time for the first time for the first time for the first time when the Pope Francis was selected.

Here we look at how to ensure that the three old African Pope and the Christians celebrate the Easter Sunday and St. Valentine’s Day.

All three were recognized as a saint in the church.

Pope Victor I, who thought it was Berber’s origin, was in charge of the Catholic Church when Christians were sometimes persecuted by Christians who sometimes rejected Roman worship.

He is probably best known for allowing Christians to celebrate Easter on Sunday.

In the second century, some Christian groups in Rome Asia (modern Türkiye) celebrated Easter on the day of the celebration of the Passover, which celebrated the Passover, which could fall to other days.

But Christians in the western part of the empire believed that Jesus was resurrected on Sunday, so Easter must always be congratulated that day.

The debate over the resurrection was a very controversial issue.

The “Easter debate” symbolized greater conflicts between the east and west, and it was symbolic whether Christians should follow Jewish practices.

Victor I sang the first Roman meeting, a group of church leaders.

He did this by threatening the ripples in the church of the bishops who refused to comply with his wishes.

Professor Bellitto told the BBC, saying, “He was a rather powerful voice in getting the same page literally.”

The historian said, “He said that this is an impressive achievement because it was Roman bishop when Christianity was illegal in the Roman Empire.

Another important part of the legacy of Victor I was to introduce Latin in the common language of the Catholic Church. Previously, ancient Greeks were the main languages ​​of the Catholic liturgical and formal communication for the church.

Victor I wrote in Latin, widely used in North Africa.

Pope Millia Death is believed to have been born in Africa.

During his reign, Christianity increased acceptance from the Roman emperor, eventually becoming the official religion of the empire.

Before that, the persecution of Christians was widespread in different perspectives in the history of the empire.

But Bellitto pointed out that the militia was not responsible for this change. The Pope said, not a great negotiation, but “Roman mercy.”

Miltiades was a palace by the Roman emperor Constantine and became the first pope with official residence.

He is also licensed for Constantine to build the oldest public church in Rome, the Latte Cathedral.

While the modern pope lives and works in the Vatican, the Lauan church is sometimes called the “mother of all churches.”

Zela Sius I is the only one of the three Pope Africa, who believes that historians were not born in Africa.

“There is a mention of Him from Rome. So we are [ever] I lived in North Africa, but it seems clear that he is from North Africa, ”said Bellitto.

According to Professor Bellitto, he was the most important of three African church leaders.

Zela Sius I is officially known as the first pope called “Bika of Christ.”

He also developed the doctrine of two swords and emphasized the equal power of the church and the state.

Zela Sius I critical distinction that two power was given to the church by God.

Professor Bellitto said, “Later, in the Middle Ages, the Pope sometimes tried to reject the emperor or king’s choice.

Zela Sius I is remembered as his reaction to the bias of acacia and division between 484 and 519 between the East and the Western Christian Church.

During this period, Zela Siius I insisted east and west of Rome’s superiority and the entire church. Experts believe that they went further than his predecessors.

Zela Sius is also responsible for the popular celebration, which is still displayed every year. On February 14, 496, St. Valentine’s Day was established to commemorate Christian Martyrs St. Valentine.

Some records say that Valentine is a priest who has secretly performed the wedding when it is prohibited by the claudius II emperor.

Historians believe that Valentine’s Day is rooted in Rome’s love and Dasan festival Ruper Kalia, and Jella Sius I has moved to Christian pagan tradition.

Professor Bellitto says there is no way to know the three Pope to some extent.

“We must remember that the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages have not thought about the race we think today. It has nothing to do with skin color,” the BBC said.

“People in the Roman Empire did not deal with race and dealt with ethnicity.”

Professor Philomena MWAura, a student at Kenyata University in Kenya, told the BBC that BBC is very multicultural with the local Berber and Punic groups, the liberated slaves, and the people found there.

“The North African community was quite mixed, and it was a trade path for many people involved in early ancient trade,” she explained.

Professor MWAURA added, “Most people in the Roman Empire have considered them as Rome,” MWAURA added.

None of the 217 pope after Zela Siius is considered to have come from Africa.

“The church in North Africa has been weakened by many forces, including the fall of the Roman Empire and the invasion of Muslims. [into North Africa] Professor MWAURA said in the 7th century.

However, some experts argue that in North Africa, the prevalence of Islam does not explain the absence of the pope over the entire continent for more than 1,500 years.

Bellitto said that the process of electing a new pope has become “Italian monopoly” for many years.

But he said that the Catholics of the southern hemisphere surpassed the people in the north, so there is a high possibility of the pope in Asia and Africa in the near future.

In fact, the Catholicism is expanding today in sub -Saharan Africa than anywhere else than anywhere else.

According to the latest numbers, in 2023 Africa shows 285 million Catholics. This accounts for 20%of the world’s congregation.

Three Africans are competing for the success of Pope Francis -Democratic Democratic Republic of Congo Democratic Republic, Peter Kaho Poho Afgatur Turvison of Ghana, and Robert Sarah of Guinea.

But Professor MWAURA insisted that “Christianity is very powerful in Africa, but the power of the church is still north and resources.”

“Perhaps it will be time when the Pope Africa is as strong as it continues to be strong on the continent,” she said.
