@Xistance There is no evidence of that. The series of germanic political conquests and the development of trade in europe after the fall of roman administration, especially from 700 to 1200, at which point the north sea had become the european center of commercial expansion was the driving factor in the domestication of the population. The church was the driving force of maintaining the ignorance and submission of the population, which is why after the classical restoration, the italian translation movement, and the printing press, the church was gradually gutted – especially in the north where it had the shortest tenure. The church was also instrumental in the gutting of western military capacity both in romen and in the germanic kingdoms. The church was also instrumental in the parasitism upon the people since it was the most corrupt political institution in known human history. The church even killed the templars opening the hole for the jewish capture of the banking industry. By the time of the late middle ages the church held 50% of the land in europe, was pervasively corruption, and every reform movement had failed. The few scholarly achievements were made despite the church not because of it. And we are still trying – I certainly am – to end the cancer of abrahamic pilpul (sophistry) critique (undermining) heaping of undue praise (pretending the church was anything other than evil). The church was the WOKE movement of the ancient world. Nothing more. Same people, same origins, same strategy, same content, same desired end.
