Abstract

The Middle Ages was the era of Church dominance and power in Europe, in which the Church not only ruled on Europeans lonely but also performed wonderful educational, welfare, social and medical services. However, after the advent of modernity, the authors of European history were modernist and disgusted with religion, so these historians represented the Medieval era as a “dark age of Europe” and covered up these wonderful services of the church. A dispassionate study of history brings to light the lost corners of church services that the religionists have tried their best to hide, and have presented religion as a symbol for oppression and ignorance. The same ecclesiastical services in this research make it clear that medieval Europe is not a dark age but a bright chapter in the religious history of Christianity that ended with the defeat of the church by modernity.
