The Middles Ages ran from the fifth century to the fifteenth century, and up until the fourteenth century was a time of great growth and a great flourishing of Catholic thought, the spiritual life, the religious life, etc. Clovis was baptized Christian in 496 and gave birth to Catholic France - the "eldest daughter of the Church", Charlemagne was crowned by the Pope as Holy Roman Emperor in 800 AD. The great Benedictine monastery of Cluny was founded in 910 A.D. By the fourteenth century famine, plague, bad weather, a growing "coldness" in spiritual life, and a growing business ethic in secular life started to crowd out religion and the world grew away from Christianity, until finally it resulted in the catastrophe of the protestant revolt in the mid-sixteenth century when business became the new religion, and Calvin preached his double predestination: the only way you could know that you were one of the saved was to be successful in business! God was replaced by a ledger book.
