Both the Second Vatican Council and Pope Francis tell us that the proclamation of our faith has to be inculturated, that faith has to be transmitted in a form that resonates with the local culture. We are spontaneously in resonance with our own culture, but being in resonance with a different culture is not necessarily spontaneous. In-culturation requires on our side some degree of ex-culturation, a distancing of ourselves from the culture we are already familiar with, as my personal experience has taught me. Lack of ex-culturation leads to lack of in-culturation.
