And you wonder why we had 700 years of the Dark Ages after the rise of Christianity.

Shopping For A Religion
While not a prefect chart, how obsessive does Roman Catholicism come across? Control issues? There is pretty much nothing they do not condemn.

Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions.
G.K. Chesterton
The Dark Ages, fundamentally, were a result of the cataclysmic failure of the secular Roman government and subsequent squabbling among local and regional European fiefdoms, not the Christian church which pre-dated the Dark Ages by centuries.
The Dark Ages/Middle Ages are a period of Catholic corruption and religiously dominated social decline.
The Christian Church predated, that is why I said "after".
A. From 590 to 1517, the Roman Church dominated the western world. The Roman Catholic Church controlled religion, philosophy, morals, politics, art and education. This was the dark ages for true Christianity. The vital doctrines of Biblical Christianity had almost disappeared, and with the neglect of true doctrine came the passing of life and light that constitutes the worship of the One True God as declared in Christ.
B. The Roman Catholic Church was theologically sick and its theology led to atrocious corruptions. It was spiritually exhausted, enfeebled and almost lifeless. Rome had seriously departed from the teaching of the Bible and was engrossed in real heresy.
C. There can be no appreciation for the Reformation until one sees the great spiritual need of the western world in the 16th century. No Christian, Roman Catholic, Protestant or Independent can gloss over the period of history from 590 to 1517. This period is a “black spot” to all who name the name of Christ, but it is Christian history.

Why these particular 7 items? Why not others, like murder? Roman Catholics condemn murder. Shall we condemn them for this, as well?
