At that time the church was seen as a means of control over neighbouring barbarian states. In similar way previously were baptized Ostrogoths and Vandals. The vandals by the time they saked Rome were already Christian (but fell to heresy). | |

However, the "Catholic" church never did have any authority in Christian areas outside of the boundries of the original Roman Empire during the Roman Empire (eg: Armenia and Ethiopia). | |

| Jun 25, 2012 at 15:03 | comment | added | T.E.D.♦ | The Catholic Church (although in many ways not qualifying for this question) is an interesting case. It didn't set out to become trans-national. It intially just mirrored the organization of the Roman Empire. It accidentally became trans-national when the empire collapsed out from under it. | |
