After the fall of Rome was its culture preserved by the Catholic monks?

The Catholic Church continued to use Latin, but it was above all the eastern part of the Empire, Byzantium, that preserved Graeco-Roman culture. The monks were in monasteries, and had no culture other than their religious life. They did however copy some text and save them from oblivion, though the best savers were found in the Arab world in the time before Arab Islam regressed. The culture of Rome was preserved not only in the eastern empire centred on Byzantium, but also in other ways. Latin is the basis of the Romance languages - Spanish, French, Italian. Graeco-Roman law underpins much modern law. Architecture developed from those madels too. Literature, plays, poetry likewise. Look to many chanels of passing on culture - but not the monks.
