-I agree that the sentence in question needs to be rewritten, but the Oxford University English Department has said that A) it's okay to split infinitives, and B) it's okay to end sentences with prepositions. They say it turns out English isn't Latin, and shouldn't be required to follow the same rules. And, in matters of the English language, I recognize no higher authority than Oxford.
(It also would have been funnier if the priest was there to give "last rewrites", but nobody ever consults me, nooo...)
