Catholic missionaries came, and converted people and rulers. Rulers might convert because of genuine religious feelings, or because it pays to be on the good side of all the catholic kings south of you. Christianity pushes other cultures to convert in a way that pagan religions really didn’t do, so over time one side kind of pushed harder than the other.
