If it's too idealized and pretty, if it's somewhere floating around up in the air, it's probably not the Gospel.
I certainly don't see Christianity as a 'pretty' religion, whatever that means. It is an ugly religion headed by a cruel dictator god.

Is Eliot presenting that statement as a profound insight into the Eucharist or is this quote meant to give insights into the thinking of a fictional character in a story?
