Catholic

Fascinating that the term Catholic Church, is still a declaration of Hellenism. It is in Ancient Hellenic, Katholikos.

Which explains why Hellenism died in Byzantium, but thrived in the West.

If you preach Catholicism, you start with preaching Hellenism first.

And that explains the failure of Christianity to spread in already existing cultures outside the Roman Empire.

Persians, Chinese, Indians etc would never accept to be taught Hellenism as superior to their culture.

By christianising, the church de facto hellenises first, and then preaches Christ.

Which explains Copts, Armenians, Assurians etc. They felt their culture was not inferior to Hellenism.

And that explains Desert Fathers, escaped from complex theologizing to the desert.

And that explains Protestantism as German Nationalism.

Protestants switched from only the church can interpret the Scripture, to anyone with grace can interpret the Scripture, in any language.

Protestantism gave birth to European nation-states.

Everything is theology.

Which explains why Xi Jinping is persecuting both Christians and Muslims.

De facto Christians teach Hellenic culture supremacy over Chinese culture, and Muslims teach arab culture supremacy over Chinese one.

Everything is theology.

Which explains the most recent attempts by christian theologians to find Trinity in Hinduism, in order to evangelize Hindus, not teach them Hellenism first, which is offensive for them. They can't accept Hellenism is superior to their culture.

I learned this angle by reading a book about History of Arts. There, it's explained that Chinese elite at one point in time, rejected Buddhism as ...foreign..., once it got stronger as elite.

Which actually explains Turkish Islam or Persian Islam as non-arab islam, as de facto preaching Islam is preaching Arabic culture first, then Islam.

Persians and Turks can never accept their culture is inferior to Arabic culture, hence Persians adopted shiism as non-arab, and Ataturk invented Islamic Nationalism for Turkey, copying frim Christian nationalism.

European Christians succeeded in "Christianizing" Africa and South America by........destroying those Cultures first, then Hellenizing them (aka Christianizing them).

They failed destroying (hence failed to Hellenize) Persian, Indian and Chinese Cultures.

Re-Hellenization by force of (the so called) Byzantine Orthodox Faith in the 19th century by German Romanticists, thus creation of the Church of Greece, caused REACTION by all Balkan nations to de-Hellenize the orthodox faith, by fantasizing the imaginary Ethno-Orthodoxy.
