The entire Anglican Church would not move over, of course. Those who want to put the Vernon Robinson mess behind them (a not insignificant number of parishes in the US and a fairly large contingent in Africa and South America) would be in the first wave.

From then on, it'll be anybody's guess as to how the rest of the Anglicans tilt.

That's the way I see it, anyway.

Real Anglicans do not believe in the supremacy of the Pope, transubstantiation, the veneration of Mary and the intercession of Saints. Real Anglicans have a thorough Protestant theology with a form of worship that resembles that of Roman Catholicism. We are catholics with a small "C".
Our local churches call our own Pastors and they are paid by the local churches. Our budgets are set by our Vestries with the approval of the Congregation. Our Bishops are elected by a conference with half the voters being Lay Delegates and the other half Clergy.
On the other hand, Roman Catholic Laymen have no say in the running of their church.
And also, real Anglicans deplore the pathetic and pitiful situation in the soon to be defunct ECUSA.
