And so really the structure was already in place, but now it's being more formularized, right? There's a sort of formal idea of what can be done. You know, once there's a rule, once the rule is decided, you can say, well, look, you're disobeying this rule. We all agreed this, right? We got together, we agreed it. And so let's all follow it.

It doesn't disappear. No, it doesn't disappear. I mean, it has immediate afterlife in that it becomes more successful in the short term because Constantius, Constantine's son, was educated by Eusebius of Nicomedea, who was the great Arian defender at Nicaea. And he's greatly embedded in the imperial court. And it's part, really, of exiling all sorts of Nicene people.

Athanasius goes, Eustathius of Antioch goes, you know, Marcellus of Ancyra, all these figures who are pro-Nicene figures actually get into trouble and lose their seas for a while. And so actually the Aryans gain ground. And it seems that Constantius is more interested in. And so Jerome has this line later on. He says, the world groaned to wake up and find itself Arian.

But really, Arianism was this short-term successor for a while. Then, of course, you've got Julian the Apostate and that sort of falls apart. And then we go back to Nicene, Empress Jovian, and then finally, Theodosius. I mean, also, Arianism has an interesting afterlife in two very different contexts. One, I always find really interesting,

is that through, I'm going to get his name wrong now, but it's Ulfila, a priest ordained by this Eusebius of Nicomedia. He is the apostle to the Goths. And so the Visigoths and the Vandals who sack Rome are actually Aryans. They're Aryan Christians at that time. But Arianism survives. And of course, you know, some great figures are in. The most famous Arian really is Isaac Newton.

So Isaac Newton is Arian. And he despises Athanasius. He thinks Athanasius was the Antichrist, that Nicaea, and obviously this was the beginning of the end of Christianity, has been destroyed from being a pure biblical religion where you look at this scripture, what it's conveying to you, to something that is corrupted by an immoral murderer and power-seeking Athanasius away from it.

And of course, you know, He wasn't public about that because of the Test and Cooperation Acts.

You know, in Britain, from the middle of the 17th century to the middle of the 19th century, the Test and Cooperation Acts, which meant you had to sign up to not being an Aryan, to believing in the Trinity in the Nicene Way, to go to university, well, in Oxford and Cambridge, to have political office, to join the church. And this was to get rid of sort of variant of Aryanism, Unitarianism.
