syncretize -- Willie

syn·cre·tize  (sngkr-tz, sn-)
v. syn·cre·tized, syn·cre·tiz·ing, syn·cre·tiz·es
v.tr.
To reconcile and unite (differing religious beliefs, for example), especially with partial success or a heterogeneous result.
v.intr.
To combine differing elements or beliefs, especially with partial success or a heterogeneous result.

[Greek sunkrtizeinto unite against a common enemy; see syncretism.]

Though Willie is still in middle school, he is kind and joyful, and I'm guessing he would try to syncretize conflicting beliefs that cause tension.
