"... as the Church becomes indigenous in this country, it is encountering and has to deal with the culture at large. It can no longer hide under the dark veils of mystical antiquity and languages incomprehensible even to the faithful. Babushka watches Pat Robertson and Mother Angelica. Yaya watches Benny Hinn. Our people are now well educated and sophisticated businessmen, no longer non-English speaking immigrants."

He is saying that the grandmothers now watch Protestants and Catholics on TV and that their children are now western educated and are sophisticated businessmen. The grandmothers and the businessmen are two aspects of the same problem. But they are distinct aspects. The grandmothers are not western educated or sophisticated, and their children are not watching Benny Hinn.
Sex is the mysticism of materialism and the only possible religion in a materialistic society.
