Speaking as an ex-Episcopalian (sixth generation), I would say that the Catholic church welcomes you . . . we have been extremely pleased with our new parish and we all wish we had made the change sooner. Most of the stuff our former rector said about the Catholics turned out to be untrue . . . (of course much of what he said about God, theology, and "gay is great" turned out to be untrue also, so why am I surprised?)

If you're in Texas (I think you are), you have the option of several Anglican Use Rite churches that use a service based largely on the '28 BCP but are in communion with Rome.

Our Lady of the Atonement Catholic Church in San Antonio, TX is the founding parish for the Anglican Use Liturgy. Their web site merits a visit.

Yes, I am in the North Dallas suburban area. There is no lack of Episcopal parishes in my area, ranging from very liberal to ultra-conservative. I believe there is also an Anglican church in the same suburb I live in.
My parish is an extremely "high" parish, which is one of the things I like about it. It is about as close to Catholic as one can get without actually being Catholic, if that makes any sense. I don't know how to explain it.
I have to say that our Rector hasn't done any Catholic-bashing or said any blatently pro-gay things but that if that were to happen, my decision would be a lot easier to make.
