        It's "dark" because we have fewer written sources. Christian establishment persecuting Christian saints wasn't anything new or special.

        An episode from these years (1432-34) is also recounted by Vasari: "And being in the Marca d'Ancona, one day sailing with some of his friends in a boat at sea, they were captured all together by the galleys of the 'Moors', that sailed through those places, and led to the Barbary coast (North Africa), each of them being led to the chain in servitude and held slave, where he remained with much discomfort for eighteenth months. He (Filippo Lippi) took a charcoal extinguished from the fire, with it all in one piece and with it he portrayed his new master wearing his clothes in the Moorish style, in a white wall. this was told by the other slaves to the master, because it seemed to everyone a miracle(!), neither drawing or painting were used in those parts, and this was the reason for giving him a reward and freeing him from the chain where he had been kept for so long.

            Christianity literally, and I do mean literally, seeks to control every aspect of your life, down to the eternity you spend afterwards. To say "this was meant to control people" is not hyperbole when you discuss religious art

            I can slob the knob of the church and talk about how its meant to represent Gods grace or whatever the frick but that was only emphasized so the Church would continue to exercise power over the masses by appealing to very base instincts humans have.

            If it cannot build metropolises at a whim, it's not a civilization, it's a tribe.

            If your civilization's only export is the rulings of an increasingly corrupt class of pedophiles in dresses asking you to PAY to get into heaven and killing anyone who disagrees with the notion that the Vatican should run EVERYTHING, it's not a civilization. It's a fricking tribe.

            Tribes survive catastrophes because they're small and support jack shit, and while most will simply melt away, a few will remain. Civilizations collapse because civilization is a complex structure that needs to be checked and maintained regularly. They bring light and prosperity and wealth and complexity.

            Medieval societies don't do that. They produce blithering fools like (You) and substinence farmers who get massacred by the tribe beyond the next hill.
