The Romans initially did not feel threatened by Christianity. As time passed on the Romans saw the religion and their followers growing. The Romans also saw that the Bishops were given more royalty by the Christians than to the Roman state. This hurt their ego and they started becoming suspicious about the religion of Christianity. The Bishops had enormous power among the Christians and this made the Roman Empire suspect the Christians of disloyalty. The Romans also saw that the Christians were denouncing their Gods and creating a religion that could challenge the Romans. Individual instances of disloyalty added fuel to fire. This made the Roman Empire feel threatened by Christianity.
