It smacks of "cultural Catholicism" of the type that turned me away from Rome in the search of something more Christ centered and spiritual, rather than cultural or tribal.

So, praising and worshipping the Lord in your English, American culture isn't a cultural form of Christianity?

Last I remembered, Jesus spoke Aramaic, not English. Don't impose your own culture on the Christian faith. /sarcasm

Christ had a culture. He was pretty tribal, too.
