Thank you very much WB. I have never met a Catholic that I didn’t like but perhaps I will if I join the church....lol. Thankfully, the church is for sinners though or we would all be thrown out when we fall short of the glory of God.

We left the Episcopal Church after GC 2003. After many vicissitudes, here we are in a nice traditional Catholic parish, with orthodox teaching, not too many happy-clappy types, and * gasp! * good music!

The music was the hardest thing to leave behind -- but I actually think that our music program is now better than the one in our former Episcopal parish.

We were so "high" that the only points on which we had any difference with the Church were the validity of Anglican orders and the supremacy of the Pope. So it wasn't really a very difficult decision for us. But if I can answer any questions, just fire away.

Be persistent, and be inquisitive. Unless there is only one parish in your area, you are going to find a good deal of variation in both theology and liturgy, because as James Joyce said, the Catholic Church is "HERE COMES EVERYBODY!"
