The original question asked whether a Latin Rite Catholic could attend an Anglican Use Mass.

An "Anglican Use Mass" is a valid Catholic liturgy, in communion with the Pope, offered by a validly ordained Catholic priest. (Who is most certainly not a female.)

Therefore, the answer is "yes".

Yes but, it talked of an Anglican Rite, and there is no such thing at this time. There is an Anglican Use Divine Liturgy, but no rite. I would not LIKE to see an Anglican Rite. I joined the Latin Rite, and I think the Anglican liturgy and music are divinely inspired and should be allowed to work into the Roman Catholic community as a whole, not be sealed off into a separate rite as the Maronites have been. It is the Sarum Use liturgy, it predates the C of E, and it should be retained.

However, with that said, I’m a bit torn about the use of the prayers of the heretic Thomas Cranmer. Our Cardinal said mass in our little chapel and it hurt my heart a little bit to hear him use the words of Cranmer.
