Allies is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the significant events and transformations within the Catholic Church from the time of St. Leo I to St. Gregory I, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by the Papacy amid the upheaval caused by the invading northern tribes. It examines the evolving nature of the Holy See's authority during a crucial transitional period in European history. At the start of the work, the author emphasizes the critical role of papal letters as primary sources in understanding the history of the Church and states that the letters of the Popes provide essential insights into their governance and the circumstances of their times. Allies introduces readers to St. Leo's significant actions to preserve the Church's authority during tumultuous political changes, particularly highlighting events like his negotiations with Attila the Hun and Genseric the Vandal. As the Western Roman Empire crumbles under external pressures, the authority of the Papacy emerges as a new center of spiritual and political stability, setting the stage for the transformative period that follows. Throughout the opening, Allies foreshadows an exploration of how the Church united various peoples and cultures into a cohesive Christendom amid societal chaos.
