Europe only began to became EUROPE as such, with the coronation of Charlemagne in 800 A.D. Then Christian Europe rose to become a stunning jewel in the crown of the Church until the collapse of Europe in the 14th century, which saw the Medieval Synthesis collapse. The disasters of the 14th and 15th century gave rise to Protestant Catastrophe in the early 16th century and Christian Europe began to fall apart. The Age of Revolution in the late 18th century also saw great changes in the Church in Europe, and then the darkness of the twentieth century with its wars, tyrants, dictators, communists, socialists saw the rise of Satan as never before and Christian Europe was nearly dead. The thirteenth century was probably its highpoint, and it has been downhill ever since. I would recommend Diane Moczar's two books: What Every Catholic Wants to Know Catholic History and Ten Dates Every Catholic Should Know for a succinct synopsis of the Church's history in Europe (see below).
