A religion that comes to us 2000 years later after passing through many translations, cultural filters, editing via prejudice and two millennium of Chinese WhispersThat's all ok waffle, and just let things play out.
As you mentioned lot has been playing out for the last 2000 years in Christianity and its movement which will continue to playout
What you will see in the end and playing out right now, all of our human dispositions, all past cultures, are being played out all coming into the open and being experienced.
Give it time, as you keep saying we need a new religion, we will get that, Christianity will seem to go down like a brick, but in reality it's being purified so it'll start from scratch as it did 2000 years ago
I'm not sure of how familiar you are with what's happening within the CC right now, but this for certain is playing out this very moment, a prediction made by Ratzinger some 50 years ago when he was just a pup and non of the current events were in the open or happening.
Joseph Ratzinger gave a radio talk
At Christmas 1969, 50 years ago, Professor Joseph Ratzinger gave a radio talk with the provocative title, What Will the Future Church Look Like?
The church will become small and will have to start afresh more or less from the beginning
She will no longer be able to inhabit many of the edifices she built in prosperity. As the number of her adherents diminishes . . . she will lose many of her social privileges. . . As a small society, [the Church] will make much bigger demands on the initiative of her individual members....It will be hard-going for the Church, for the process of crystallization and clarification will cost her much valuable energy. It will make her poor and cause her to become the Church of the meek . . .
The process will be long and wearisome as was the road from the false progressivism on the eve of the French Revolution — when a bishop might be thought smart if he made fun of dogmas and even insinuated that the existence of God was by no means certain . .
. But when the trial of this sifting is past, a great power will flow from a more spiritualized and simplified Church. Men in a totally planned world will find themselves unspeakably lonely. If they have completely lost sight of God, they will feel the whole horror of their poverty. Then they will discover the little flock of believers as something wholly new. They will discover it as a hope that is meant for them, an answer for which they have always been searching in secret.And so it seems certain to me that the Church is facing very hard times. The real crisis has scarcely begun. We will have to count on terrific upheavals. But I am equally certain about what will remain at the end: not the Church of the political cult, which is dead already, but the Church of faith. She may well no longer be the dominant social power to the extent that she was until recently; but she will enjoy a fresh blossoming and be seen as man's home, where he will find life and hope beyond death.https://www.catholiceducation.org/e...ritual-life/the-church-will-become-small.html
