    The Middle Ages were not “a time of ignorance, barbarism and superstition”; the Church did not place religious authority over personal experience and rational activity;

    Like hell it didn’t.

    and the term “Dark Ages” is rejected by modern historians

    Because it’s a prejudicial term, not because the past isn’t fucking shitty.
