I'm sorry but the Roman-Catholic Church didn't existed yet in the time of saint Venantius Fortunatus. He was Orthodox, like almost all bishops of Gauls. The only not Orthodox were the Arians (Visigoths mainly, in our regions). This is why saint Venantius is in the liturgical calendar of the Church. He has only been adopted by Roman-Catholic, when the later started its existence, some 3 centuries later, first in Germany, then in Rome (1009, coronation of Henry II of Germany, first use of an heterodox Creed in Rome ever).

This is a tricky topic. You are right that there was no schisma at this time between orthodox and catholic, but both words are not historic for this time, because this adjectives do not represent what we understand under these terms today. It is clear that Venantius Fortunatus was no adherent of Arianism, in contrast to the gothic overlords of Italy at this time. This may have been one reason, why he went to Gaul, because the Francs were the first germanic tribe that converted to the catholic form of christianity, or better to say, to the Nicean creed.
By the way, his birth region around Venice was still under East Roman control at that time, while most of the rest of Italy was under gothic rule. However as an adult, he was trained at Ravenna, the Gothic capital in Italy. You see, it is complicated. --El bes (talk) 19:20, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ravenna was recaptured in 540, ten years after his birth. I think, too early to be counted as adult.--Dojarca (talk) 06:39, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
