What was the important of the edict of Milan?

Answer 1

It's an edict signed by Emperor Constantine and Emperor Licinius in 313A.D., which established a policy of religious freedom for all, especially Christianity. On the one hand, Christianity was made legal in the Roman Empire. Christians could now practice their faith openly, which contributed to the growth of Christianity. However on the other hand, the Church became more secular. For the first time, the Church had to deal with the issues of political power and wealth.

Answer 2

The Edict of Toleration had already granted Christians and followers other non-pagan religions explicit freedom of worship. The Edict of Milan built on this by guaranteeing the return of any appropriated church property and granting Christians some additional privileges, although in practice the Edict of Milan was not used to the advantage of Gnostic Christians, whom Emperor Constantine regarded as an unnecessary and divisive influence. The Edict of Milan was significant more in what it did not say - it demonstrated to acolytes, and to those with imperial ambitions, where Emperor Constantine's loyalties lay.
