The Middle Ages is another era that has seen great revision over time. Protestant historians once liked to dress visions of this period in sackcloth and ashes and lament the spiritual and moral backwardness of the human race as it trudged down this stretch of historical bad road. They called it the Dark Ages. Atheist successors have followed the lead of Protestant revisionists in lambasting the European nobility and the Catholic Church for their many errors during this unfortunate millennium. Catholic re-revisionists have been known to praise the epoch following the withdrawal of Rome from Western Europe as an age of faith, characterized by a nobility of spirit not seen since. We will try, with the sources available, to set things straight about these controversial Middle Ages.
