Roman Catholicism is not that culture. The RCC has been trying to convert Chinese people for centuries. Where does it obtain the right to do that, do you suppose?
It also tried to convert the Chumash peoples in California. Instead, it killed them all, one way or another, so that there are none left today. Perhaps that was the true goal, eh? All that is left of the Chumash are artifacts. The Mission in San Luis Obispo, CA, has a very large collection of those on display in its museum, but there are no Chumash people left to explain them.
That story is repeated again and again in multiple places that already had a culture when the RCC came and forced its culture on indigenous people. If they objected, they were exterminated. The story of genocide in the name of Jesus is a long, long, repetitive story.
It tried to do that in China, too, and is still apparently trying to do that. Again, where does the right to do so come from?
It's no wonder that China seeks to remove the influence of non-Chinese religious groups from its country. Chinese culture predates Christianity by millennia.
Feh!
