Rosemont is going Catholic

Apparently there really are right wing Anglicans willing to go with the Pope. Instead of addressing her irrelevence the Church will back-fill with with like minded pre-modern people. As an (ex) Vatican II Catholic, I can only wonder why it took me so long to see the true direction of the Church.

The arrangement is tailor-made for an “Anglo-Catholic” parish like this one, which has strenuously opposed the Episcopal Church over decisions like allowing women and gay people to become priests and bishops. Mass here is celebrated in the “high church” style reminiscent of traditional Catholic churches, with incense, elaborate vestments and a choir that may sing in Latin.

For 17 years, the parish has refused to allow the local Episcopal bishop to come for a pastoral visit or confirmation, and then stopped paying its annual financial assessment to the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania.
Let them try that with Rome!
