Zephyrus
Tyrants and Slaves
The Catholic Church and the Middle (Dark) Ages.
This is why our world sucks as much as it does today.
And we would have stayed in the Dark Ages if it weren't for the Catholic institutions of monasticism and scholasticism, which kept kept enough people literate and laid the groundwork for the education system that would bring Europe into the Renaissance.
Next time you open a book and can read what's written in it, thank a humble monk who spent his life keeping the alphabet from going extinct by copying texts, word for word every day.
