This was a very good and moving read.

The classic theological rootedness which drew me to the Episcopal Church has all but been replaced at the national level by a trendy American theology rooted in cultural experience rather than historic faith. The commitment to Eucharist and the liturgical standard of the Prayer Book seem farcical as many parishes clearly disregard the liturgy altogether, and have so learned to read the creeds and Eucharistic rites from a metaphorical perspective that they have no real meaning. As a result I find myself in ongoing turmoil.

Excepting that I'm nowhere near the caliber of this individual, he speaks for this Roman Catholic who is also frightened.

Theres another type of Roman Catholic, Mel Gibsons branch that rejects the pope's changes- and only recognises the pope up to a certain point,

And then of course, you could learn Greek and convert to Greek Orthodox, or one of the 5 Bzyantine Eastern branches.
