How did the christian church save Western civilization from the Barbarian invaders after the fall of Rome?
The Catholic Church saved Western Civilization. The barbarian invaders were barbarians that wished to join in the civilization of Rome. Leaders such as Theodoric the Goth and Atilla the Hun were barbarians that forced themselves into civilization. The Catholic Church saved civilization because the barbarians destroyed it on accident. The Catholic Church preserved knowledge and learning. The monks, in monasteries, throughout the barbarian invasions, kept great knowledge and lore in their libraries. The monks wrote and copied many books and preserved them in the monasteries which were safe, even as the cities were sacked. "How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization " by Thomas E. Woods Jr. is a good book that will answer your question in greater detail.
