I truly don't see it as bending over backwards. Yes, we must return to our roots - which is to spread the Gospel to all, for every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess. Japan's population has only 400,00 thousand Catholics. This is the same number at the first arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th century. Catholicism was posited to become a major religion in Japan, if not the religion of Japan, before the Shogun stamped it out and made Christianity illegal there. What I am saying is that it is a positive direction in allowing Christ to speak to those in cultures that do not share our Western cultural framework. I see it optimistically. We can be the alternative & the tradition while expressing our traditional values through cultural artifacts that other cultures understand.
