I've been to Our Lady of Walsingham only once, several years ago, when the idea of becoming a Catholic was only percolating in my mind. It was a lovely service, full of Grace, and with excellent music. But it was very, entirely, and completely Roman Catholic in its essence. I don't see that as a bad thing. I suspect the Anglican Use Liturgy is superior to the "spirit of Vatican II" liturgy now used in the Novus Ordo mass. I hope that with the coming Latinization (in translation) of the NO mass, that I will find it superior to both. TLM is the only truly classic mass that I've heard. I was very interested in the schismatists of the Episcopal church, until *I* became a confirmed Catholic. Now I really don't care. I did like Our Lady of Walsingham, and I can't wait to go and receive Communion there. Likewise, I look forward to receiving at our local Tridentine Indult church, The Church of the Annunciation, possible the loveliest church in the city, IMHO.

Now that's how a church should look from the outside!

I've done both TLM and NO at Annunciation recently. That it what it is to be Catholic. It is a beautiful Church, not a post V2 bookstore.

I did wonder why if in the old Missal on the facing page was the translation why did they need a new translation? Just turn around and use the same words. That seemed like a no brainer.
