'Anglican-Use' Rite Attracts Both Converts and Catholics

Very interesting article from the National Catholic Register by a Long Islander! If I can, I will attend this meeting in Queens since any attempt to have good liturgy is fine by me. I have personally witnessed the "diminishing" of the Episcopal Church in this area and remember reading somewhere that the idea of an Anglican Rite was proposed for England but stopped by some in the Vatican. This article confirms what I knew about bishops not encouraging these Anglican Use parishes in the USA, pretty much for the same reasons they do not encourage the Tridentine Mass. As the priest says, "It's a pity that more bishops don't realize they have a real tool here for evangelization".
