Unfortunately, much confusion has arisen from the fact that many parishes have adopted the old Anglo-Catholic practices externally, but preach the modern ECUSA doctrine in full and pernicious heresy.

Such an one was our old ECUSA parish. We ALWAYS did the Easter Vigil (and, BTW, it's "Vidi Aquam"* - not "Vide Acqua" - the author must not be a Latin scholar) etc., but it was a whited sepulchre.

*Vidi aquam egrediéntem de templo, a látere dextro, allelúia: et omnes ad quos pervénit aqua ista salvi facti sunt et dicent: allelúia, allelúia.

I saw water flowing forth from the temple, on the right side, alleluia: and all to whom that water came every one was saved, and they shall say, alleluia, alleluia.

I agree 100% with you on your first statement about the confusion. I often find myself describing our Anglo-Catholicism in terms of what we are NOT - which seems to be more brief than explaining what we are.

I came to Anglo-Catholocism from the RCC - I have found more within the BCP 1928 that is more spiritual than any full fledged mass that I see in the RCC nowadays. I have been able to ask who I am in the ACC and get an answer, as opposed to growing up RCC and wondering if there was anything I could do besides turn in a Sunday offering and be a performing monkey during mass.
