History of Persecution
Religious persecution had been around since the foundation of the Christian church.
The Roman authorities suspected the Christians of worshiping their God in ways that were disturbing and incomprehensible. Words like “Love feast” and Eating Christ’s flesh” sounded pretty suspicious to the pagan; therefore, Christians were accused of incest, orgies, and all sort of immorality.
