Alicja Leska in her article entitled On the range of problems concerning the relationship between the Church and the state in the late Antiquity outlines the way Christianity went from a persecuted religion to a state religion and demonstrates how Christianity changed the political and social relations in the Roman Empire completely and irretrievably. The Author indicates struggle and permeation of two worlds, pagan and Christian, during the economic crisis which started already in the 3rd century AD, barbarian invasions and migration of nations which intensified in the 5th century as well as the division of the Roman Empire. She presents arguments refuting the accusations of those historians who see the cause of Christianity’s victory in the ruin of the Roman Empire. Leska emphasizes it was a coincidence that the Church gained world importance at the time of the empire’s decline and fall into disorder. The Author points out that the Church, taking over the functions of the empire, was the only body able to manage the crisis of the West and assign meaning toit. Due to the unity and moral power and despite being shaken the same way like other institutions, the Church brought credit maintaining order and saving civilization.

Orosius describing in the Historia against pagans illness and death of Emperor Galerius claimed that they were the result of a suicide attempt. No other source confirms this fact, including works used by Orosius, which either very briefly informs about the death of the ruler (Breviarium of Eutropius, Chronicon of Jerome), or does not mention it at all (Church History of Rufin of Aquileia). Probably the ruler's suicide was an invention of Orosius, who could think that this is how the enemy of God and Christianity should die. In the Bible, suicide is shown negatively and was most likely condemned by the Fathers of the Church.

Orozjusz w Historia adversus paganos, opisując chorobę i śmierć cesarza Galeriusza, przypisał mu popełnienie samobójstwa. Żadne inne źródło nie potwierdza tego faktu. W źródłach, z których korzystał Orozjusz, albo bardzo lakonicznie informuje się o zgonie władcy (Breviarium Eutropiusza, Chronicon Hieronima), albo się o tym milczy (Historia Ecclesiastica Rufina z Akwilei). Prawdopodobnie to sam Orozjusz przypisał popełnienie cesarzowi samobójstwa, gdyż uznał, że tak powinien odejść wróg Boga i chrześcijaństwa. W Biblii samobójstwo ukazane jest negatywnie. Podobnie ojcowie Kościoła potępiali popełnienie samobójstwa.
