  1. While in it's dying throes, the leadership of the Roman Empire decided to extend it's life by changing it's base of power from military might to that of religion. It went from being the Roman Empire to the Roman Catholic Church, thus insuring that the Roman legacy never really died, it merely changed it's appearance. Herding the worshippers, has always been a good business to be in. The Jews demonstrated this very well to the Roman leadership, and when the opportunity finally came along in the form of an obscure Jewish sect, it was impossible for them to ignore. Christianity has been, and always will be a good business to be in, whether as part of the original Roman Catholic Church, or it's Byzantine descended Orthodox brother's, or it's various Protestant branches and "way out there" affiliations.
