Well, the Dark Ages had their Boethius, so even if civilization is dying something may be preserved --and it seems that there may be some people equipped to fill such a role should the need arise. It's not surprising, though, is it, that it is within the confines of the church (and it seems largely the confessional church) that learning endures.

Vanities and disguises have covered us, and thereby we are naked; licenciousness hath inflam'd us, and thereby we are frozen; voluptuousness hath fed us, and thereby we are sterved, the fancies and traditions of men have taught and instructed us, and thereby we are ignorant.
John Donne
