The Roman Empire was cracking under the Crisis of the Third Century, but the Christian movement was growing stronger, more organized, and harder to ignore. This episode follows Popes Anterus and Fabian, the rise of church administration, missionary expansion into Gaul, and the devastating Decian persecution that tested Christians across the empire.
