I think he does make an interesting point about the fasting and spirituality.

He does indeed. And I think you're right about the lifestyle; much of that should return in the NO once we get our bearings again. Hopefully. :)

Admittedly, I am not a fan of returning to a Latin Rite. I am also not a fan of the happy-clappy love-ins that pass for Mass these days. The Anglicans produced a fabulous English liturgy in the 1928 BCP, which, in my view, could be used as a basis for an English Rite (that service is actually more “Catholic” than what one funds in most parishes today). Even the Orthodox have used the 1928 BCP as their “Western Rite”.

Imagine if the Anglicans (having tossed ECUSA), Catholics, Lutherans and Orthodox could agree on the same basic English language liturgy that is reverent and traditional (with minor adjustments for each group). The first three already use the same lectionary.
