RE: Middle Ages, where Islam lived better than Europe
The Catholic Church isn't Christian. Neither is the Orthodox Church. We're saved by faith alone in Christ alone guided by the Bible alone. We're not saved by infant baptism, good works, and obedience to church rules. Mary is not our mother. She's not the mother of God or queen of the apostles. She was just a righteous woman like many others that are mentioned in the New Testament. We shouldn't pray to Mary or to statues or to icons.
I see. but, it is true that Roman Catholicism made medieval Europe a Christian civilization. Protestantism was separated from Roman Catholicism after the Reformation.
