МИЛАНСКИ ЕДИКТ ИЗАЗОВ СВАКОМ ЧОВЕКУ, ХРИШЋАНИНУ И ХРИШЋАНСТВУ НАРОЧИТО
THE EDICT OF MILAN CHALLENGE TO EACH MAN, CHRISTIAN AND ESPECIALLY CHRISTIANITY

Summary/Abstract: Allow me to quote these unusual – or should I say genial – words of Constantine the Great dated to 313 AD: “No one should be forced to observe religion… Let everyone follow the religion he chooses… Everyone may freely believe in what his heart wants… One who is convinced to be in the right path of faith should not mistreat others. At worst, he should only help others. If he does not want that, let him leave them be. Let everyone try to save his soul as his soul desires, it should not be forced onto him. I wish that my people live peacefully and be serene; this is the common good of all people and the entire Empire. Let those who mistake, same as those who have faith, feel joyfully the benefit of the peace and serenity. Namely, that graceful peace in society may bring those who mistake back to the right path. Let no one mistreat others and let everyone have what his heart wants, and let them revere what they believe.
