See also:SILVESTER I ., See also:bishop of See also:Rome from See also:January 314 to See also:December 335, succeeded See also:Melchiades and was followed by See also:Marcus. The accounts of his papacy preserved in the See also:Liber pontificalis are little else than a See also:record of the gifts said to have been conferred on the See also:Roman See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)

- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church by See also:Constantine the See also:Great. He was represented at the See also:council of See also:Nice. The See also:story of his having baptized Constantine is pure fiction, as almost contemporary See also:evidence shows the See also:emperor to have received this rite near See also:Nicomedia at the hands of See also:Eusebius, bishop of that See also:city. According to See also:Dollinger, the entire See also:legend, with all its details of the leprosy and the proposed See also:bath of See also:blood, cannot have been composed later than the See also:close of the 5th See also:century (cf. See also:Duchesne, the Liber pontificalis, i. 109). The so-called Donation of Constantine was See also:long ago shown to be See also:spurious, but the document is of very considerable antiquity and, in Dollinger's See also:opinion, was forged in Rome between 752 and 777. It was certainly known to See also:Pope See also:Adrian in 778, and was inserted in the false See also:decretals towards the See also:middle of the next century.
