"He His name was Theodosius, and he is called the Great, I suppose because he was great at destroying the old temples and old statues of the gods and goddesses. Not only was he strongly opposed to those who were not Christians: he was equally aggressive towards Christians who were not Orthodox in his way of thinking. He did not tolerate any opinion or religion that he did not approve of. (Jawaharlal Nehru)"
