Knowing the biblical history associated with Jesus (I.e. Pontius Pilate crucifying him to appease the Jews), how did Roman Catholicism end up becoming the dominant religion in the Roman world?

This question seems extremely unresearched. Like, I understand if you come here asking for an explanation on a subject you tried to understand, but it’s complex or it is difficult to find information, so you’d like a simpler explanation.

A simple Google search would have answered 90% of your question – Constantine claims he saw a cross in the sky before a battle that he won, so he switched to Christianity, thus the empire switched to Christianity. It’s more nuanced than that. But it doesn’t seem like you even looked into it before asking. At least put some effort in before asking others.
