Latin Christianity became the branch of Christianity of the west because it became the Christianity of Italy and, through this, spread in the western part of the Roman Empire. It later spread throughout Western Europe. Pagan or Arian Christian Germanics invaded the empire in the west. However, the Visigoths who took over Spain and the Franks converted to Latin Christianity. The kingdom of the Franks covered Gaul and also parts of central Germany which had never been under the Romans. This helped to spread Christianity there. Charlemagne invaded northern Germany and sent missionaries to covert the pagans in that area. Another element that spread of Latin Christianity was the creation of the monastic orders. Monks became missionaries who worked throughout Western Europe. Pope Gelasius I sent missionaries to Ireland in the 490s. Pope Gregory I sent out to convert the Angles and the Saxons in England and sent missionaries there in the 590s. As for the domination of society, Medieval Europe was deeply religious. The church had a dominant presence through its influence on the populace, its links with kings and aristocrats and the pope being seen as the head of Christendom.
