I swam too, Confirmed in 2006. Didn’t go Anglican Use, but went the traditional way, through RCIA. After a while I decided I needed something different than the Novus Ordo and the heavily gay parish I was confirmed in and found my way to the Anglican Use parish in town. Stayed there for about three years. Recently have returned to my piskie parish for a number of reasons, but mostly because I haven’t found a Catholic community that fits my needs. I have some regrets, but... before I left the only problem was that I wasn’t catholic, and now I am, so I’m having my cake and eating it too.
That's a shame. We stumbled in to a basilica with a Benedictine priest - so I think, liturgically, it's about as good as it gets for a former Anglican in Latin Rite Land. Many of the hymns we sing are straight out of the 1940 Hymnal - though they can't resist modernizing most of them.
