We certainly would welcome you.

And the Catholic Church as a whole can use a more reverent liturgy and better music . . . . so don't forget to pack your bags with your best stuff . . .

We're fortunate in our parish (very orthodox priests and a choirmaster with a profound appreciation for the English composers), but if your Bishop comes over and you get an Anglican Use rite, you should be able to continue in the great Anglican tradition, just with better theology and adult leadership . . . < g >

You sure got that right! Maybe we could trade guitars for priests...

I've been attending a middle-of-the-road RC parish for three years with my Catholic wife and children.

There's much to like, but, as you imply, thirty years of vernacular liturgy (with much of it inspired by heretics) simply cannot hold a candle to the five hundred year-long Anglican liturgy development.

And the hymns! We opened last week with "Praise to the Lord, The Almighty, the king of Creation" (very, very good) but it was followed with incomprehensible Kumbaya-wannabe gibberish.

Borrow some Anglicanisms, for Heaven's sake work on the music, and we'll see...
