Negative Positive
Title: Did only the Catholics light the fire?
Review: Honest to goodness, I have never read a book that tried so hard, literally page after page, to blame everything negative about the middles ages on the Roman Catholic Church. Everything. More exactly, I think the author occassionally went three pages before he blamed something new on the Catholics. But, at least he was balanced. Mr. Manchester pointed out that anything positive was in spite of the Roman Catholics.I can not recommend this book, or any book, written to prove a presupposition rather than to arrive fairly at a conclusion. Terrible. It offended me not only as Catholic but also as a reader of history.
Is the review positive or negative?
