== History ==
On 27th of February of the year 380 AD the ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Thessalonica Edict of Thessalonica]'' was issued by emperor Theodosius I making Christianity the state religion of the [[File:SPQR.png]] Roman Empire, outlawing all other religions and legalizing the prosecution of their followers, establishing the first de facto Catholic Theocracy in the world.
After the fall of the Roman Empire most of the Germanic tribes that previously practiced Arian Christianity adopted Catholicism in order to ally themselves with the the religious figures of the regions they were invading, leading to most of the former Western Roman Empire remaining a Catholic theocracy loyal to the Vicar of Christ in Rome, while the Eastern Roman Empire evolved into an [[File: Orth.png]] [[Christian Theocracy/Orthodox Theocracy|Orthodox Christian Theocracy]] loyal to the Emperor of Byzantium.
