can you please give me a brief summary of how medieval Latin Christianity functioned over the course of 1500 years at a parish level? please be sure to account for differences in social class (including within the aristocracy), geography, rates of literacy, etc.

then of course please talk about the historiography of all of that in medieval studies, particularly in the 19th century when claims such as those made in the paper were explicitly deployed by race scientists and colonialists to justify the superiority of "western civ"

you're welcome to use the numerous volumes written on the "birth of the individual" at various stages (late antiquity, the 9th c., the 12th c.) but then consider the critiques levied across the last century against them.

and then we should talk about kinship structures of different groups even within certain geographies and how assumptions about them were constructed by racist Roman historians.

what you're saying is "this paper is based on a host of unexamined assumptions, all of which no historian in their right mind would ever make in 2019, but please critique the data that's created from that flawed model rather than (on twitter!) pointing out the flawed assumptions"

or, perhaps more seriously, would you take seriously a paper on psychology written by a historian and published in a history journal so that it never went through appropriate peer review? no, and you shouldn't. it'd be nothing more than fan fic.

Considering the overwhelming response from people who actually study this stuff for a living, if they did get a peer review then they didn’t do a good job.

Excuse me, but when historians say that an article is poorly researched and bad scholarship because it does not acknowledge the vast historiography on this very topic, that goes beyond not liking it.
