Reform fails if it does not reach the people as a national educative force

Evidence

Religious-pedagogical reform that grounds itself in substantively foundational tradition-wide commitments — rather than operating as exception within an otherwise-corporal tradition — produces substantially better operational durability across centuries. The Quaker tradition’s foundational commitment has been substantively durable; reform-based commitments within otherwise-corporal traditions (the Salesian counter-tradition within Catholic Counter-Reformation Catholicism, the Anabaptist counter-tradition within the Reformation period, the Mussar Movement within nineteenth-century Lithuanian Orthodox Judaism) have been substantively durable but operate within frameworks where the broader tradition’s mainstream operates differently. Foundational commitments produce substantially better operational durability. — , The Rod and the Child, 3070 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
