The behavior of many was certainly suggestive of it. :wink: I doubt the barbarians actually went to church, especially if they were aryan and despised catholic churches in their midst. And as mostly illiterates I doubt there was much religious instruction. In contrast, christianity was very important to most fifth century Romans. Had it not been for the fact that the climate tended to rule out pillar dwelling outside Syria, screwballs like Simeon would've sprouted all over the empire.
