How the monks saved civilization

What a strained column from Davey this morning. Basically, he's not incorrect. Certainly the "Dark Ages" weren't so dark, and the Church's monastaries were vital in the preservation of Greek and Roman knowledge. And, subsequently in the advancement of that knowledge.

But, Oh, Davey™, aren't you forgetting something? Astronomy perhaps. Chemistry?
