As I move around the Polish capital, Warsaw, here and there on the metro underground, I'm currently reading Thomas E. Woods Junior's incredibly insightful How The Catholic Church Built Western Civilization.
Through reading this book, I'm encountering all kinds of interesting information concerning such things as how monks from Ireland and Northumbria introduced lower case letters into European languages; how the Benedictines turned swamps into agricultural land, and through relentless technological innovation, paved the way for the Industrial Revolution; how the Catholic Church hierarchy played a major role in setting up the early university system etc.
Of course, it's good to get such a positive view of the Catholic Church's major role in building up Western civilisation when living in an age when history seems to be continually revised by woke (extreme left) ideology.
