High Church, in the modern sense goes with the Liturgiucal movment that began about the time of the Tractarian Movement. Newman was never much into liturgy. I think that Richard Church was the leader of this. Started with surplices and when from there. Now services are much more elegant than a Catholic mass, Despite the 1979 Prayer book, the language is still much more graceful than our English mass. I declare that the order was out back in 1972 to make the translation of the Latin as flat as possible,

I think the bishops just had a tin ear and were deliberately trying to "modernize" the language.

The older translation of the Latin Mass is much better.

I don't like the '79 translation because it's theologically unsound . . . and clunky.

The Anglican Use Rite is the way to go . . . all the benefits of the 1928 BCP and Catholic too!
