Timothy Radcliffe, once head of Britain’s Dominicans, sees in it “a sort of ‘Brideshead Revisited’ nostalgia”.

Dream on, there are considerably more of us in the U.S., and many of us, including me, haven't even read or viewed "Brideshead Revisited". I doubt that the ethnic Irish, Italians and Poles in this country have a nostalgia for Edwardian England.

What church-goers are not nostalgic for are the weak tea folk Masses that originated in the '60s.

Yes. Authenticity, historicity, piety — all wrapped up in a wonderful sensuality.
