add whatever grain of salt u deem appropriate

its not obvious to me that more change/integration is good for the longevity of a faith

the megachurches have great attendance numbers but i still would probably bet against them in terms of outliving traditional faiths

over centuries i'd think a faith would need to be compelling to stick around

sorry sorry traditional catholic mass; latin and incense and chants and such

maybe? i struggle to see unification of christian branches; more like the fizzling of distinct faiths such that the ones ppl actually practice continue on

yeah i'm happy for him!
