Of these Rome might well seem the least, when the West was being more and more given over to barbarians who were either heathens or, what was con- sidered just as bad, Arians. The difficulties of the bishops of Rome proved, however, their opportunities. Deserted by its emperors, Rome and Italy too came to look to the Pope 154 MEDIAEVAL CHURCH AND REFORMATION or bishop of Rome as its bulwark of defence against bar- barism. When the Arian Alaric the Goth sacked Rome (410) he spared the Christian ...Churches out of respect for Pope Innocent I. When the far more terrible heathen Attila the Hun threatened to invade Italy (452), Pope Leo I. Went to meet him in the neighbourhood of Venice, and by his eloquence persuaded him to turn back. Forty years later the fierce conqueror Clovis the Frank was baptised (496) by the bishop of Reims and founded the first Catholic {i. E. Not Arian) barbarian kingdom in Gaul. This alliance of the Papacy and the Franks was to be of enormous importance three centuries later.
