Rome\'s 3 biggest mistakes.

[Timotheus]

Not so much priests in rome, but every general who saw the power lay in the religious posts.........and so on.....it's just fact , nothing to get upset about, after all priests are just people, not gods....and they were prone to all the weaknesses of man.

Hard to say.

One example, when Atilla attacked the Western Roman Empire he started by sieging several Roman cities to the north of the Roman capital.

What did the Pope Leo the First do? He sent word to the sieged cities that they had offended God and must return to full loyalty to God (ie fall in line with the Pope) or die.
