Hans Küng held that the Church never inculturated beyond Europe.

Evidence

Following the example of Paul, the church became Greek with the Greek world and barbarian with the European barbarian world. However, it has not become Arabic with the Arabs, black with the blacks, Indian with the Indians, or Chinese with the Chinese. Viewed as a whole, the Church of Jesus Christ has remained a European-American affair. — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 704
