Christianity doesn't need to have historical or cultural ties to an area to grow. If that were the case Christianity would not be able to grow anywhere other than the Eastern Med or parts of Europe.
Scripture does not change.....however Roman Catholic "tradition" has, does and will change again.
Have you built a cathedral or composed a symphony like Mozart’s rendition of Ave Verum Corpus lately? Even Evangelicals have something to glean from Catholicism’s contributions to uplift the human spirit and beautify culture.
