“I think the Converts are going to start coming in droves.”
If I were you, I wouldn’t get too excited about a few Anglo-Catholic “Nuns” converting to the RCC. They were already there in spirit as well as faith and practice. The only thing they had to swallow was the Pope.
On a worldwide basis there are far more Catholic to Protestant conversions than Vice Versa. Look it up. Whole countries in Latin America are making the switch.
Most Mexican immigrants to Houston end up in Pentecostal and Evangelical churches as well.

Well, there are a ton of them in OUR parish, so they're not all going Evangelical, not by a long shot.

If you're a broad- or high-church Piskie, really the Catholics are the only alternative if you don't want to join one of the breakaway groups (and the Anglican Communion worldwide has got some serious systemic problems, just not as far down the funnel as the Americans). If a former Episcopalian is serious about the Real Presence and the Apostolic Succession, that is (and a surprising number are, even if they don't call themselves high-churchers).

Low-churchers are more likely to join an Evangelical body, but they are in the minority everywhere but in the South, where suspicion of Catholicism has been slow to die in some quarters.
