We believe what the Catholic Church teaches, but we will worship like our Reformed brethren.

Our "Reformed brethren" don't speak in tongues. Pentecostals aren't "Reformed". Presbyterians are "Reformed".

Steubenville, through Scott Hahn, gave birth to CHN. They're bringing Protestant ministers into the Church by the dozens.

I'm using the "Reformed" term as a catch-all for all the various branches of Protestantism and its offshoots, since some object to the term "Protestant." I also use it with a bit of irony, as there is nothing "Reformed" about them, but in reality, they are all revolutionary to one extent or another.

I don't doubt that. But I still repeat how there's a disconnect. Over the past 40 years ago, the Church has made a bad prudential judgment in allowing all kinds of deformities to orthopraxy, and, as the old rule goes, "lex orandi, lex credendi." If these people are still praying/worshiping as they did before they entered the Catholic Church, then there's a problem.
