Some people have trouble with the meaning of words and need little crutches to help them. We call these people grammar nazis. We should not stoop to their level though and accept that they have to have these crutches in order to understand and if they are missing they can't only talk about their lack while ignoreing what is being said.

No Roman converted their holiday for the convenience and pleasure of a Christian. Romans hunted Christians pretty extensively from Nero’s rule in 64 CE until 313 CE when Constantine the Great declared toleration. However, you’re other point “for the convenience of the growing population of Roman Christians” is exactly what co-opting the ceremony for Christian purposes means, as I originally said.
