Splitting hairs here but there were no "dark ages". The Medieval period was complicated period but full of such light and glory it would be blinding to our modern, darkened eyes.
True Christian judges are the most equipped people on the planet to administer justice since they know the Source of all justice.
You can believe that if you want but the historical evidence suggests otherwise.
You can believe the "evidence" if you want but actual history suggests otherwise.
The church being extremely corrupt is actual history but maybe you’d need to actually study history first to know that. Priests and church members are fallible humans. Idk why that’s hard for some people to accept.
Like I said, complicated. I'm a protestant in the reformed tradition so I am well aware of historical church corruption. But to see the entirety of the medieval period as one giant epoch of church corruption is a sad and flattened view.
I'm not looking to dunk on you, to be clear. You're not wrong that there were periods and regions where the peasantry suffered under unjust rulers and clergy. But the Church Age, built atop the Scriptures, is why we today can even have this discussion. Our freedoms, senses of justice, tools of liberty—our whole moral framework—is the fruit of Christendom, and medieval Christendom especially.
