Christianity just happened to the one that did. And it didn't civilize everyone - Balkan Vlachs were famous nomadic orthodox people, that wandered the Balkans all the way to Ottoman times.
Why? Catholicism seems even more cucked out idk

Because it was the state religion at that point and you would be punished for not following it.
