We are always astonished – even rendered gobsmacked on occasion – by Praxiteles’ erudition, but this is an architecture site and no place for extended quotes of ecclesiastical arcana, however argued. What is the point of Ranjith’s paper from the perspective of church architecture/design? That you should retain altar rails? (Absolutely.) But if that is the point, then say so; don’t fill the site with what is in the end a snippet of very arcane discussion.
