The Roman Catholic Church became the state religion of the Roman Empire.
The term Pax Romana, was Latin for "the Roman peace", and this long period of "peace" was experienced by states within the Roman Empire not by CHristian missionaries walking barefoot to Gaul, but by the fact that Roman rule and its legal system pacified regions which had suffered from the quarrels between rival leaders, forcefully.

And where its army went the priests soon followed and imposed their religion on the people forcefully.

In the East their co-religionsists also courted the Mongols hoping to become the state religion of the entire East. They were in essence attempting to marry into the Mongolian dynasty and form a Pax Mongolica. Moffett admits it right there in his book.

And that's the real reason why the CofE consecrated Mar Yaballaha III - a Mongolian - who ruled the Church of the East from 1281 until his death in 1318. It was not because they were tolerant and open. It was pure and simple opportunism.

Now imagine the Mongol hordes under the control of the CofE. Now imagine what would've happened to the world if the state religion of the Mongols had been Christianity.

I'm pretty sure that the same Mongol hordes who came back to bite the CofE raising a minuurat of 70,000 heads in Baghdad in 1401 would've eventually gone down the same path of their Western co-religionsist in the West.

There would've been an Inquisition and there would've been pogroms against non-believers and there would've been crimes against humanity committed by the Mongols but supported by the CofE clergy.

Therefore because this did not happen we can only prove that the CofE committed violent attacks and religous intolerance in certain incidents during its long history. Acts that would've set the precedent for even more had their courtship with the Pax Mongolica achieved fruition.
