-— In regard to widespread disdain for the Middle Ages, C. S. Lewis felt that many modern people suffer from a kind of “chronological snobbery.”-—

Lewis was SO right. This is one of my favorite insights of his, and one of the most pervasive logical fallacies.

The Modernists have it exactly backwards. Unfortunately, they seem to have command of the history books, deriving their understanding of the Middle Ages from Monty Python sketches. And they confuse scientific progress and moral progress.
