If there were such a place or thing as 'hell', then the lowest rung would be reserved for this SOB--Flavius Theodosius, Spanish General who was appointed Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire by Gratian.
To him we owe the finalization of the church-state merger, based on his decree that anything contrary to Nicean theology (Jesus=God) was to be accounted heresy. On his watch Arian Christians (and Jews) were persecuted; buildings destroyed and dogma enforced.
