I am at pains to understand what is happening here. Formally embracing the Church would be the immediate answer but the Church here in this day and age has to be of the imagination for the most part with a bare minimum of familiar ritual that is much out of place in a modern public library. I am reminded of my parents' comments as to how the whole ambitious Lefebvre project was going to be contained within the walls of some scattered garages! They know of course the Church when she was at her physical height and could not bring themselves to stomach such an indignity.

The bishop's measured distancing from the old centre of Catholicism and the Menzingen substitute must surely concern new confirmation candidates who must have the intellectual capacity to discern nuanced religious positions while they are switching faiths or adopting one. That is why his preferred candidates are mature adults and not unreliable children. A background of church attendance as a Christian would help in order to mount a resistance to something but it requires a heavy commitment to attach oneself to a fifty-year old doctrinal disagreement from scratch .......  unless any old bishop will do to advance an appreciation of an old faith!
