Greatest of Centuries
> Besides, I'm not particularly concerned with the medieval era as such, because that dealt with the particular difficulties of transitioning from a pagan society to a Christian one.
As a Catholic Medievalist myself I'm just going to mention that with the exception of the later Roman Empire and some parts of Northern Europe in the (very) early Middle Ages, this is simply not true. The pagan world was as much a memory then as it was in the Early Modern Era, even if the memory was not too distant of a memory. The transition was long done and Roman temples long either abandoned or replaced with churches for centuries. Read GK Chesterton's biography of Saint Francis of Assisi for a good perspective on it in the language of a layperson. Otherwise I would recommend The Greatest of Centuries by James J. Walsh.
