First of all, Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. Further, the "Dark Ages" was a conceit of the early Enlightenment to characterize the Middle Ages, the term is now frowned upon by modern scholars as not reflecting reality. Finally, the Catholic Church was pretty much the sole source of education and civilization throughout the Middle Ages.

∙ 9y agoNobody calls it the "Dark Ages" anymore, the Catholic Church has always known it as the Age of Faith. The Catholic Church was extremely important to the people in Europe during the Age of Faith, their entire world revolved around the Church. People at that time, had a correct perspective on their lives, and realized that God had only put them on earth for a short while in order for them to decide where they wanted to spent eternity, and so they ordered their lives in the correct manner around God and His Wishes.

Why does the Catholic Church still follow dark age traditions?
Roman Catholic AnswerFirst of all, to refer to the Ages of Faith as the dark ages is an extremely ignorant and insulting slur against Catholics who see the Ages of Faith as a golden age of belief when belief in God permeated Christian's lives. Second of all, asking why the Catholic Church still follows dark age traditions is akin to asking someone if they still beat their wife. You are making an assumption that is entirely unwarranted, and in this case, false.The Catholic Church follows the traditions given to her by Our Blessed Savior, the Lord, Jesus Christ; and clings to those traditions with a faith born of God. If she is still following traditions given to her by Our Blessed Lord in opposition to following the trends of the world, or heretics who have denied the faith, then, more power to her!

It also tended to provide some cohesion to the disparate European states as well as an important arbiter of political disagreements.
