Answer
Pope Leo IX invited him to Rome. The pope, who had been informed of the schism in Constantinople by the Emperor, wanted to intervene. He was eager to settle the conflict peacefully, so he summoned the Greek patriarchs and bishops to Rome to try to resolve the dispute. Leo IX hoped to bring the Eastern and Western churches together, but the pope's attempt failed.
