Jonb...we refer to it as the Early Middle Ages (which ends 150-200 years after the date I gave which was the end of the first part of the EMA), but if people are going to use the term Dark Ages, we may as well humor them.
Also the Church dominated during the end of the Roman Empire, but lost much of that control when the power of the Roman Empire declined...it was only strong because the Roman Empire was strong. It was not until after the Moslem invasion that it seemed advantageous for the ruling elite to turn to Christianity.
The Romans invented and built upon advancements with artillery, but they are most known for their contributions to language and law....they were more politicians than inventors.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
