The Middle Ages were not "a time of ignorance, barbarism and superstition"; the Church did not place religious authority over personal experience and rational activity;

Like hell it didn't.

and the term "Dark Ages" is rejected by modern historians

Because it's a prejudicial term, not because the past isn't fucking shitty.

Because it’s a prejudicial term, not because the past isn’t fucking shitty.

If that were true then what do you call the classical age? The darker ages?

We generally say 'Antiquity' and 'Late Antiquity' anymore.

Ooh present-tense anymore! Really don't see that very often, but it's got a nice ring to it

Edit: it's a positive anymore not present-tense. Thank you @oktux@lemm.ee!

Can you explain please ? I don't understand their sentence as it is. What's surprising to me isn't the present tense, it's the fact that it isn't negative.

It sounds odd to me too, but I found a wiki article on it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_anymore
