In the space of Christian culture

The rule of Christianity in the medieval world gave rise to the whole modern culture, in the space of which we exist from birth to death - this is what Paola Dmitrievna Volkov tells about this in its cycle of lectures on the late Middle Ages and Protorenesensas. It is impossible to consider this era as conditional "dark centuries", as something mediocre - this period itself is no less significant than the revival.

the geniuses of this time - St. Francis of Assisian and Bonaventure, Giotto Di Bondone and Dante Aligeri, Andrei Rublev and Feofan Greek - still lead a dialogue with us through centuries. Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergolo, becoming chosen by Pope, takes the name in honor of the saint from Assisi, resurrecting the Franciscan humility and offering us to go along the next bridge over the abyss eras.
