	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Roman Catacombs
		In the following centuries Goths, Vandals, and Lombards repeatedly besieged and plundered Rome; plague and pestilence depopulated the region around the city; both the churches over the graves of the martyrs and the catacombs sank into decay, and shepherds of the campagna even turned the deserted sanctuaries into sheepfolds.
		For this reason Pope Paul I (757-67) began to transfer the remains of the martyrs to the churches of the city; the work was continued by Paschal I (817-24) and Leo IV (847-55).
		As a result the catacombs lost their attraction for the faithful, and by the twelfth century they were completely forgotten.
