It was stated by the historians in the DVD that Constantine did more to institutionalize the church than any other figure in history. Although he stopped Christian persecution for a season, do you believe his overall actions had a positive impact on the church or a negative one? Was he a hero or a monster?

Constantine was neither monster nor hero. He was just a man, struggling with the same problems we all face. He craved power, wanting to have control of his life. Sounds terrible right? But then don't we all want the power to make our problems go away?
So, nope I don't see a monster, any more than I see a hero.
