Hi kimsland, I'm sure you can get several pov's about this on the web... and perhaps here too!
But my take is that Romans & Jews, as well as Muslims were bent on destroying Christianity.
They were trying to remove all manner of Christ. I'm surprised anyone "above" catacomb
levels was saying anything much about Jesus! It was playing with fire if they did!
So, as for politics of the time? There could be any number of reasons for, or against
any mention of Christ. Positive or negative.
Just my 2 bits on the subject.
