The context is that Theodoric, now king of Italy, despite being Arian gained the trust of the pope, protecting both arian and non arian christian subjects. But meanwhile the emperor Justin I overseas started actively persecuting arians, making Theodoric force pope John I to go to Constantinoples to convince Justin to cancel his edicts of persecution. It didn't work. John wasn't known for his iron will.
So Theodoric imprisoned Pope John when he came back and started persecuting the non arian christian as a way to tell Justin to go fcuk off

Theodoric was a much better ruler compared to Justinian. Despite being a barbarian, he was revered by the Romans still living in Italy due to his policies of reconstruction and renovation of old Roman structures and fortifications. The Romans in the West called him their "Kaiser" Caesar instead of Justinian while still recognizing Justinian as their Emperor.
