Lactantius, or Lucius CIECILIUS FIRMIANUS (325 AD) was a Church father and mentor to [[Constantine]], the first [[Christian]] Roman Emperor who transformed the history of Christianity.

He was born a Pagan but later changed his mind and repented. Before he knew Constantine, he knew [[Diocletian]] which just helps to show just how influential he was. <ref>https://www.catholic.com/encyclopedia/Lucius-Cecilius-Firmianus-Lactantius</ref> He later wrote works that condemned paganism. Despite being so influential, he is barely known today, probably due to [[propaganda]]. He argued that the soul is immutable and unchangeable. Because tradition is the same way, then if he lived today, he would be a [[conservative]].<ref>https://www.historicalchristian.faith/doctrine/doctrines/origin-of-the-soul/lactantius.html</ref>
