Like always, your analysis is excellent, but your perspective is off.Once it [the church] is burned down, he thinks, it can be replaced by a modern, handicapped-accessible and well-stocked library. His reforming impulse is founded in cupidity, in the human lust for power, but above them he has built a charming little cottage of delusions and good intentions.Actually it comes from the desire to simply be left alone.
