	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Peace of the Church
		This is the designation usually applied to the condition of the Church after the publication at Milan in 313 by Emperor Constantine of an edict of toleration by which the Christians were accorded complete liberty to practise their religion without molestation.
		The failure of Diocletian (284-305) and his colleagues in the last and bloodiest persecution to shake the resolution of the Christians or to annihilate the Church left no course open to prudent statesmen but to recognize the inevitable and to abandon the old concept of government, the union of civil power and paganism.

		The Edict of Toleration passed in April of 1905, one of the results of the 1905 Revolution, guaranteed basic religious freedom and a better standing for those other religions.
		Five months later, the Edict of Toleration was supplemented in a way where those who were leaving the Church had to then inform the police that they were leaving, as well as the governor of the province in which they were living.
		In October of 1906, the Edict of Tolerance was once again modified to provide for the Church to conduct missions to convert people of other faiths to Orthodoxy.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Caius Valerius Daja Maximinus
		When Constantine and Licinius published the edict of toleration for the Christians at Milan in 312, and Maximinus was asked to promulgate it in his part of the empire, he did so, because he saw clearly that it was directed against his anti-Christian policy.
		Licinius harassing him incessantly, published an edict of toleration for the Christians of Nicomedia so that Maximinus was obliged to withdraw to the Taurus where he entrenched himself in the passes.
		The edicts of the deceased emperor were cancelled, and decrees favourable to the Christians were now promulgated in the East.

		Toleration was thus an inconvenient argument for protestants to attempt to impose on (or use as leverage against) catholic thinking, especially when they were being very careful at the same time to underscore their loyalty to the crown.
		Toleration was, however, a much-used and -debated word on the other side of the Channel, and the English precedent was to count significantly in the writings of Montesquieu and Voltaire.
		Toleration does not so much drive the Enlightment machine as symbolize it; it is the point at which philosophal and scientific thought begins to diffuse into the general culture, and ultimately becomes one of the proudest hallmarks of that culture.

		The Constantinian toleration was a temporary measure of state policy, which, as indeed the edict expressly states the motive, promised the greatest security to the public peace and the protection of all divine and heavenly powers, for emperor and empire.
		Nevertheless he continued in his later years true upon the whole to the toleration principles of the edict of 313, protected the pagan priests and temples in their privileges, and wisely abstained from all violent measures against heathenism, in the persuasion that it would in time Die out.
		His toleration, therefore, was neither that of genuine humanity, nor that of religious indifferentism, but a hypocritical mask for a fanatical love of heathenism and a bitter hatred of Christianity.

	The Persecution of the Christians
		The edict was not aimed at eradicating Christianity, but rather at ensuring the goodwill of the ancestral gods in a time of crisis.
		We know of bishops who retained their sees after sacrificing, and obedience to the edict seems to have been so widespread in the east that the issue never arose as to the terms under which those who had sacrificed should be re-admitted to communion.
		In July of 313, Licinius, who had defeated Maximin, issued a general edict restoring Christian property throughout the east (this edict, issued at Nicomedia, is often referred to as the "edict of Milan" because it was believed that it was the result of a meeting between Constantine and Licinius in that city during 312).

		Galerius, the real author of the persecution, brought to reflection by a terrible disease, put an end to the slaughter shortly before his death, by a remarkable edict of toleration, which he issued from Nicomedia in 311, in connexion with Constantine and Licinius.
		A few months afterwards Constantine met at Milan with his co-regent and brother-in-law, Licinius, and issued a new edict of toleration (313), to which Maximin also, shortly before his suicide (313), was compelled to give his consent at Nicomedia.

		Enforcement of the Edict returned the meeting places and other properties which had been confiscated from the Christians and sold out of the government treasury: "â¦the same shall be restored to the Christians without payment or any claim of recompense and without any kind of fraud or deceptionâ¦".
		The actual edicts have not been retrieved inscribed upon stone, but quoted at length in a historical work with a theme of divine retribution, by the Church Father Lactantius, De mortibus persecutionibus ("Deaths of the persecutors") in chapters 35 and 48.

		The persistence and survival of the Christians under violent persecutions apparently convinced the regents Galerius, Licinius, and Constantinus that the Christian God was powerful enough to protect his followers in adversity; that he was a reality that should be treated with caution.
		The Edict of Galerius, of 311, explained that as a consequence of the persecutions the Christians neither fulfilled their cult obligations to the official gods nor worshiped their own God in proper form.
		In return for their new freedom the edict ordered the Christians to pray for the emperor, the public weal, and their own.

		Without threatening the privileged position of the Catholic Church in France, the Edict recognized the existence of the Protestants and guaranteed freedom of conscience and private worship.

		Tremendous upheaval was caused by the edict, which forced the Christians to wrestle with their own consciences and the views of their fellow church members.

		They acknowledge the cultural and aesthetic value, and perhaps the moral and philosophical truths, of their civilization's traditional religion, but they are not so naive as to take its mythological narratives or bizarre injunctions literally.
		Their carefully worded edicts of repression leave popular festivals untouched but degrade antique sanctuaries and mock or abolish the picturesque rituals dear to the old pagan intelligentsia.
		They are blind to the beauties of prose and poetry; literature in their eyes has worth only insofar as it reflects the authenticity of its writers' lives and the correctness of their ideology.
