Likewise.
I've often argued - facetiously, but with some element of truth - that many of our Eastern Rite Churches are plainly "smarter" than Anglicans as they essentially cut the same deal to stay which the latter left to achieve.
Additionally, in some respects, the practices of Eastern Rite Catholic Churches are closer to traditional Anglicanism than to those of "mainline" North American "English" Catholicism.
As for the Anglican/Episcopalian poster who rejects the so-called "cult of Mary", perhaps - as but one example of the other extreme - consult the various revisions of your Hymnal over the past 3 or 4 decades & then tell me the obvious purging of time-honored Marian Hymns doesn't amount to a calculated campaign of disrespect towards Our Lady.
