I find the Anglican Use to be even less Catholic than the 1928 BCP

You aren't Catholic. The 1928 Book of Common Prayer is not Catholic. The Anglican Use is Catholic because it is inside of Holy Mother Church.

That is solipsistic. I do encourage you to read it carefully and to compare it, line by line, with the equivalent passages in the 1928 BCP as well as the current Roman Missal. Of the three, I am quite content with the BCP. Second would be the Missal. The AU is a distant and muddled third, combining the Zwinglian tendencies of the BCP with RCC patches that only muddle the sense and reorgane the rite to completely disorient the congregation for which it is intended. Not very charitable, actually, and just the kind of thing that Anglo-catholics have been trying to escape in the legalistic CoE for centuries: a centrally-promulgated liturgy having no feel for the belief of the congregation and no real core theology but which is put forth in the attempt to co-opt the texts with which that part of the Body would be vaguely familiar.

The result is a dying Faith.

BTW, I happen to have a wonderful Sunday Missal from 1959. I'd use that, in the Latin or in English, over the AU or the current Novus Ordo Romanus any day of the week.

And your charity could use a touch-up too, Siobhan.

In Charity through Christ,
Deacon Paul+
