Answer

Thanks a lot !

Il va falloir que je n'aille pas traduir mais plutôt m'exprimer prochainement.

Answer

Don't translate. Try to explain it otherwise.
Avoir la foi solidement chevillée au corps -> To have a deep faith
You must have had as a deep faith as His Lordship Joseph Allessandro, bishop in that city of Kenia, to distinguish, on this Easter Sunday, a moment of "resurgence for the country".
That's just a trial. Don't take it for granted. It's surely not grammatically perfect but the meaning should be correct.
