Meanwhile, Anglican & Episcopalian converts to the RC camp are proceeding apace. The new Anglican rite parishes in the US (Our Lady of Atonement in San Antonio was the founding parish, courtesy of JP II) are busting at the seams, not just with converts from all the C of E offshoots & other ex-protestants of various provenance, but with cradle Catholics fed up with the namby-pamby,don't-want-to-offend-anyone moral relativist priests in their own parishes, who also treasure the ang. rite's beautifully reverential services, not to mention their proudly pro-Vatican, vocally pro-life, and refreshingly old-school theological outlook.They are so retro, they are positively cutting-edge to all of us post Vatican II babies. And devout pre-V2 folks really feel at home there as well. Our Lady of A in S.A. haven't even finished putting on the final touches to the most recent addition to their church but judging from the service I attended a couple of weeks ago, it looks like they're going to have to call back the contractors to tack on another extension. It's amazing!

The Anglican/Roman shift goes both ways. I am an Anglican, but I really can't see myself joining the Roman church. I am not willing to accept that the Pope is infallible, and I am not interested in the "Cult" of Mary.

Hmm.... Are there any in Southern California?

this is good -- the Anglican rite laity and clergy will help the Catholic Church rejuvenate (and yet move back to orthodoxy)
