Hmmm. I wonder if Roman Rite Catholics will be able to attend Anglican Rite masses?

Well, first, a few questions the Catholics must ask --- what if the mass were officiated by an ordained WOMAN ? What if it were officiated by an openly gay priest who left his wife and is now "married" to his partner ?

Please read the article.

The RCC has arranged a way for Anglicans who object to the heresies of the Anglican communion to return to the Catholic Church, while retaining some of their rituals.

The RCC will not permit married AC bishops to practice as bishops in the RCC, though it is very likely married AC priests will be ordained as priests in the RCC if they wish to do so.

Those Anglicans will most likely not be coming over the Tiber, and if they do, they would have to give up their claims to the priesthood.

Read the press releases before you make silly comments like this, they're very helpful. Had you read them you would have read that the Anglican groups that will be received are those who profess the doctrine set for in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Does that catechism allow for women or openly gay priests?

No that won’t happen. If you read the article women being ordained was one of the reason they are upset with their Anglican churches.
