[@ConstantimeThetimepotus]

is that a catholic church next to the statue???

[@theReeyver]

Constantine the great is a Saint in both the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.

@@theReeyver he is actually a Saint at the same level with the apostols for us orthodox , not a saint for chatolics

[@DCSIGNR]

York Minster, the Cathedral next to the statue, is part of the Church of England and therefore Protestant. It was originally consecrated as a Catholic Cathedral before the English Reformation in the 16th Century.

It was untill the Prods took it over

St Wilfred's Catholic Church is a few hundred yards away from the Minster.
