Ahhh - "do not be ashamed of your traditions."  

But, if you bring your own beliefs into a country that believes differently, isn't that "ideological colonization?"  Well, maybe "ideological colonization" can only work when it is the powerful imposing their own ideas on the less powerful, making acceptance of something bad a condition of receiving something really needed, like food, medical care, education.  

Oh, wait.  That is what the Catholic service groups do - they decide what "good" services they will include in helping people and what they won't include because it is "bad."  And they can do that because they have what the poor people need.  

I wonder if the Pope understands that he supports "ideological colonization" when he picks what is "good" and what is "bad"  and doesn't really leave it up to individuals to make their own choices.
