Your "source" is grossly out of date. I suggest you instead read "How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization" by Thomas E. Woods---copyright 2006 instead of sometime in the 1800's

It has the LATEST research on the subject.

I will read the book you suggest if you read the one I have suggested to you. But having studied Western Civilization for the better part of four decades, I doubt that I will find Thomas E. Wood's thesis to be very convincing.

How much time does he spend on the Dark Ages?

"How much time does he spend on the Dark Ages?"

A VERY large part. In fact, that time frame is where most of the NEW research has changed points of view.
