One of the issues that is causing so much damage to the Roman Catholic faith and to many  faith traditions is to not realize that many of our beliefs, traditions, rituals are embedded in the viewpoint of a particular culture.  The Christian Jesus that we think we know is the Jewish man as described by other Jewish men who thought through their own cultural lens, who's writings are interpreted by men living in a Roman culture using cultural philosophies of Greece and Rome.  

Who is Jesus and how is what he said and did interpreted  to someone raised in Eastern traditions?  What would beliefs and rituals look like if the first to expound and expand on the writings of MMLJ had been Asian, or Native American?  

Maybe we all need a cultural relevant basis for belief and faith; and therefore many faiths in the world.  But, the particulars of the faith are not nearly as important as the Golden Rule, as how we treat each other.  Don't think God would have a problem with that.
