    My point is that they didn’t bend to the Roman government.

      No, but eventually they would become the Roman government and then they bent a whole lot

          Roman emperor was the head of the church, so Christianity became a political tool to manage the population.

          The Empire was politically managed by having it divided into two halves, a Greek speaking eastern half and a Latin speaking western half. Which ended up shearing Christianity into Catholic and Orthodox.
