Question by Jeff: What is exactly caused the Roman Church in the West to fall into the dark ages while the Eastern Churches …?
in the East remained out of the dark ages during the Middle Age time period?
Eventually the majority of the Eastern Churches broke away from the Roman Church in the West during the Great Schism in the year 1054, with them becoming known as the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Eastern Churches somehow remained out of the dark ages while in the West, the Roman Church plunged into the dark ages during the Middle Age time period.
Why is this?

The Roman Church became proud and began to believe that they were the direct spokespeople of God, like all false religions do.

When the Western Roman Empire fell in the year 476 a.d. The church didn’t necessarily fall with it, Many of the people in western Europe were still Christian.
The Pope became a central figure in both spiritual and political authority because (1) there was no longer an emperor and (2) Some of the invading Barbarians had already been subjected to Christian missionaries.
The church also became the main source of education in the dark ages, and the monastic life became more and more popular.
