Top answer
Parochial concerns are those which are very limited in their scope; things which matter to a few people rather than everyone. The government usually has no interest in getting involved in matters which are not of significant importance to everyone, so they 'stood aloof', or refused to get involved. Imagine a couple of quarreling children - their concerns are important to them but their parent is tired and not interested in who is right or wrong so will not step in and take sides.
