First sentence: A classic passage from an English historian, Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-59), recalls the coming together in Catholicism of Greek and Roman culture, the anointing in 754 of Pepin III (7I4-68) by Stephen III (pope 768-72), St Gregory the great (pope 590-604) sending St Augustine in 596 to become the first archbishop of Canterbury, and St Leo the Great (pope 440-6I) confronting Attila the Hun and his forces in 452.
