A good argument could be made either way.
There isn't an argument that can be made for staying put, however.
You may want to consider pinging your list, my friend. This is an interesting article worth the read. Just tonight at the Presanctified Liturgy there were three or four former Episcopalians/Canadian Anglicans in attendence.
Well, now! I thought you might find this interesting ... The author comes to a slightly different conclusion than you did.
There are loony Catholic parishes and they seem to get all the press, but they are the exception rather than the rule. Our parish is profoundly orthodox (little 'o').
I'm sure if I hunted around I could find some goofy Orthodox congregations . . . but I wouldn't judge the entire church by them . . .
I would think Catholicism makes more sense for a converting Anglican. Putting my bias toward my own faith aside, culturally and ritually, Anglicans share more in common with Western Catholicism. Although I guess in a way I'm using one of my biggest beefs against Orthodoxy (ethno-centrism) to make my case *for* Catholicism.
These folks aren't exactly on the cutting edge. They'll be dead or senile in two or three decades, tops. Is he seriously invoking Newsweek's Anna Quindlen as a Catholic thinker? That is really funny.
Wish him the best, though.
Good article, well thought out. I work with a Conservative Episcopalian (oxymoron?) that I would bet dollars to donuts would become a Catholic if we still used the 1962 Missal or if there were a Universal indult.
I think this is valuable article to Catholics as a commentary on how an outsider views Liturgical innovation.
Thank God for Benedict XVI
One question arises though: What became of his compatriot Cannon Kimmet?
Though I'd love to see my Anglican brothers and sisters swim the Tiber, I would rather see them become Orthodox than stay in ECUSA.
