What was the problem with science of the middle ages

Many historians and scientists regard the Western Europe, after the fall of the Roman Empire, as completely devoid of interest, a barren wilderness in the history of science. Contemptuously, they give medieval Europe the Dark Ages, and this epithet evokes pictures of filthy, illiterate peasants and rulers, with medieval society a pale, superstitious shadow of the Greek and Roman ages of reason and high philosophy. Science was seen as a very touchy subject back in the Middle Ages, especially with the breakout of the Plague that was unforeseen.

I hope this helps, God bless, and have a great day!
Brainliest is always appreciated :)

The catholic church would usually sentence any who proved them wrong with science to death because the church was the government

The growth of the empire continued to increase their confidence.
