"Gibbons didnt say it was the main cause. He said it was one of them and argued that the focus on individual spirituality with Christianity resulted in a lower sense of civic duty which led to the decline of the Roman Empire. What happened in Europe was a rebirth with the Carolingian Renaissance starting with Charlemagne. The medieval Church preserved knowledge focusing on monastic scriptoria and universities and provided a moral order that eventually helped shape Western civilization"
