Well the glory days of Catholic Christianity are referred to as the dark ages, so you have a pretty good argument but on the other hand if we didn't have printing presses publishing their translations of the Bible, we wouldn't have all these ignorant literalists propounding their interpretation of god which give so much fodder to you atheists.
So in my mind except for god, nothing is inherently good or bad, only how we use it.
