americans learn what the middle ages are challenge
#15th century? that's the very very tail end (depending on what landmark you chose for an end)
#16th century? ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK NOT
#and also the witch hunts weren't really a medieval thing they mostly took place in the early modern era
#and largely weren't perpetuated by 'the church'
#and the inquisition spanish or otherwise had nothing to do with them
#because church doctrine actually was that belief in witchcraft is superstition; only god is all-powerful
#yes heinrich kramer called himself institoris. that doesnt mean anything it's just a fancy title he gave himself.
#and hey guess what! protestant regions were way worse about killing witches than catholic ones. 'the church'? that's catholicism babe
#do you see the flaw in your argument
#anyway of course theres not an exact endpoint to the middle ages however
#it's a period of a relatively stable socioeconomic system that collapses for various reasons
#& things like the witch panic are a symptom of that collapse
#so to talk about that in the same breath as *actual* medieval folklore & blame them on 'the church'
#(when the catholic church losing power and influence was ALSO part of that collapse!)
#is careless and silly
#esp when you call yourself a historian
#rant over
