The status quo and ancien régime having been displaced, we now realize that if anything is going to fill the void, we need to come up with it — we will need to “mobilize” new rituals, practices, institutions, and so forth. The old “backdrop” is gone; “whatever political, social, ecclesial structures we aspire to have to be mobilized into existence” (p. 445).
