This song describes the internal struggle of someone looking for fulfilment in the Anglican religion (not Catholic -the writer is the son of an Anglican bishop).
To my mind it's about the distance between Church-ianity, affluent and mostly lifeless, and the message of Christ who said that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.
It's also about the struggle to believe in God at all...
