We can all see the clear differences between a Pentecost Church of the upper room or the catacombs and a modern suburban lockdown. Our modern lock-down is/was more comparable to Elizabethan England (separation of the parts of the Church) but again the difference from them was that they went to substantial efforts to seek all the sacraments. We have not really done that.
