debase
Such behaviour has no meaning for those whose perspective on the world is entirely materialistic, while many followers of the established religions have debased it into a set of rituals devoid of true spiritual feeling. | Este comportamiento no tiene sentido para aquéllos cuya perspectiva del mundo es enteramente materialista, mientras que muchos seguidores de las religiones establecidas lo han rebajado a un conjunto de rituales desprovistos de un verdadero sentimiento espiritual. |
Too often we Christians have not known how to correspond to this gift. At times we have debased it, as if it could be confined to a soulless and cold almsgiving; or we have reduced it to more or less stereotyped good works. | Con frecuencia, los cristianos no hemos sabido corresponder a ese don; a veces lo hemos rebajado, como si se limitase a una limosna, sin alma, fría; o lo hemos reducido a una conducta de beneficencia más o menos formularia. |
