Good post. When Ted Kennedy opened America to massive immigration from the third world in 1965, this is something he did not consider. The Christian faith of the developing world is more traditional, more conservative than the Christian faith of the west. This is true of Protestants and Catholics alike.

Liberals thought, in their parochial way, that the Christian faith is a western artifact. Bring in non-westerners and it would disappear and allow secular humanism/marxism to prevail.

But Christ is universal. African Christianity is the religion of Christ in Africa, not today an alien faith taught by European missionaries. In fact, the trend is the opposite, The third world is sending missionaries to the west to revitalize the faith.

America is fortunate that we are being reminded of our roots The same is not true in much of Europe. An alien religion, Islam, is proseltizing Europe.

Islam is alien to everywhere except Arabia. Africa has had Christianity since well before the Roman Catholic Church gained it's current sway. It was in Egypt for hundreds of years before the sword of Islam came. Islam was imposed on Africans while the Arabs sold the Africans into slavery.

Yes and no. Cardinal Arinze may be a conservative, but other African Bishops of the RC and Anglican persuasions are way out there in animist, polygamous, socialist radical land. Also, Third World Christianity often tends to blend Christian tenets with native religions.

Your left-wingers love this. So colorful! And it proves for them that all religions are the same and equal.
