There needs to be a balance and this balance means that the traditional European cultural Christianity needs to be reconfigured anew as genuinely welcoming in that true, authentic, Internationalist, Universal spirit of favouring solidarity with other cultural expressions of the Gospel and it also needs to recognize the invaluable indigenous Hebraic cultural contribution to the very existence of Christianity for without this, there would not have been a European cultural Christianity since the latter formed only because the former existed and was counterculturally influential during the times of later classical Greco-Roman antiquity.

Therefore, no cultural expression of Gospel values which genuinely reflects and imparts these values in its own unique way can afford to become lost to the mists of history. Moreover, European cultural Christianity needs to be made far more robustly Universal in its welcoming of ecumenical and interfaith dialogues and through this cultural openness, will learn many invaluable lessons of enrichment.

And so this restructuration is vitally important, in order that none of this cultural heritage be lost forever but to the contrary, become renewed in an even better and more authentically Universal, (i.e. Catholic) way. That way too, nefarious insularities of ultra-nationalism and unhealthy inward-looking parochialism will eventually die out, provided people are practicing this culturo-spiritual renewal as part and parcel of both an integral human and ecological development on a macrocosmic, that is, wider-society level coupled with practicing it on a microcismic, that is, intra-personal level.
