(Proper grammar and syntax dictates the use of ecclesiastical)

If it is allowed as an adjective, it works. While I agree the more common usage would be ecclesiastical, that's not to say his usage is wrong.

Do you need a thesaurus?

Your words were perfectly cromulent as well (I would have saved antediluvian, though :) )
