On the white man’s religion, I am with the Indian.

We Jews are the indigenous of Israel, spiritually, and not entirely assimilated in Christian communities. As such, we may understand tribal affinities and identities and prefer to support those, and perhaps modernize the same, without pushing other indigenous across the bridge.

The Jesuit’s “Christ Process” may be the card held by the Catholic Church, which temporal will it cannot so easily enforce in the way of General Constantine. Today, the Church has to have the better program, and a culturally annihilating program in a world enriched by multiple cultures may have no place to wiggle.

The so-called heathen have wised up: they’re in business for themselves.

They may have to adjust some tribal practices and ways to global contemporary civilizational standards, but they’re not going to be swayed into giving up their tribal affiliations, cultures, identities, and legacies.

For the abstract base of “global standards” apply “Compassion, Humility, Inclusion, and Integrity”.
