“I have a strong sense of...spirituality more than anything. I miss the ritual of the Mass...It feels comfortable when I'm there, with all its contradictions ... And maybe because there's a theatricality to it, too. At its root, it's kind of...the retelling of what the foundation of the belief is, the ritual of the mass. It feels good. I feel peaceful when I'm there.”
