The purpose of this paper is to present the role which Theodoric the Great played in the Acacian schism. On the basis of the information included in the Liber Pontificalis and comparisons made with other contemporary sources, I would like to demonstrate that the above-mentioned schism was beneficial for Theodoric, as it counteracted the unification of the Catholics to the detriment of the Arians. However, it is concerned not only with the religious aspect of this problem, but also with its political dimension, since Arianism was the national religion of Goths. The way in which the schism ended was not advantageous to Theodoric, because it disturbed the arrangement of power worked out so far and affected the attitude of the unified churches of Rome and Constantinople to the Arians, which is confirmed by the emperor Justin’s later politics towards Arians.
