Anyone who lives in close proximity to an Anglican Use (Catholic) parish should consider going to one. There are only about 8 current ones, but 1 on its way. It has altar rails, incense, clerics chanting the gospel, clergy and people bowing incessantly, and beautiful organ music, not to mention old English. I go to the one in San Antonio, the first of its kind, Our Lady of the Atonement Catholic Church. It was created about a month before I was born—August something 1983 was its founding. Just something to think about.
 
I’ve got an email pal who attends OLOA–she loves it! I only wish there were one in the Twin Cities area. I’d be there in a shot! 👍

I think you mean Middle English. Old English is virtually incomprehensible to modern English speakers. (Try looking at Beowulf in the original sometime! 😛 )

If you want an Anglican Use church, all you have to do is convince most of a local Episcopalian parish to convert (including the priest, who will need to be ordained- so it can’t be an ECUSA parish with a female priest), and you can have one there until the priest retires or dies.

Pretty restrictive caveats on this particular indult, explains why there are so few of these Anglican Use churches.

I stand corrected, thank you for this note.

Yeah, the priest looks likes he is getting on in age-I guess after he retires, which I pray won’t be for a very long time—we have to go back to novus ordae–but I also hear they have novus ordae in Latin (?). I’ve never been to it. I guess not having this Mass won’t be that bad as long as there is still organ music and/or chant and incense (is that permitted out of the major feasts?).

Actually, early Modern English. Man, do I miss it sometimes! Why did my Anglican church have a more accurate translation of the Gloria and Sanctus than Catholics have, and why do they get to use Anglican chant while we get Marty Haugen and Bob Hurd?

Forget about it…I’d take a parish where the priest (or a priest, or any priest) sticks to the NO missal. Is there one in the Twin Cities? Minnesota?

Oh come on…I love “On Eagles Wings”. I was at an out of town parish last weekend and when the choir-master announced it as our communion song (I don’t like communal singing during communion anyway), I blurted out “oh gimme a break, I hate that song” - much to the consternation of the 70-something year old grandma sitting next to me - who naturally said the Our Father in the Orans position (at least she didn’t want to hold my hand). Ugh.
 
Glad to see there are other Anglican converts around! Am I the only one who had (or is having) a hard time adjusting to the …um… “differences” (to be polite) in the liturgy and music?

I actually purchased the Book of Divine Worship for my own private use. However, from what I’ve read, any Latin Rite Priest can use the Mass in the BDW at anytime (with the Bishop’s permission). Does anyone know of any parish where this has occurred?

I am actually not a convert from the Anglican Communion. I am a “cradle” Catholic, and consequently not one of those allowed to petition for the existence of an Anglican Use parish, though I do participate in one.

Not so. According to Fr. Phillips it’s the parish that was established as an AU parish. There are many priests that came in from the Anglican Church but they went into a NO parish. Not so with OLA. It came into the CC as a parish with other people and not just him. When, and if, he retires or, God forbid, dies the parish will continue as an AU parish. He said that is the way it was set up. I have been a member for some 13 years when we had only about 120 families and two masses vs. the four we now have.

Hear ya Chris. The culture shock is awful. I’m in for 5 years, and still cringing and rolling my eyeballs every Sunday. I can stand the N.O. when done respectfully and according to the rubrics (which pretty much happens in my parish) but the MUSIC! Gag, choke, gasp, spit.

I guess if people organ-ized the music, you know what I mean…and add tile floors to make it bounce…

Some of the contemp. music isn’t that bad, I’ll venture. (Note: That doesn’t make it the best…or the worst.)

May the archbishop have any Latin-rite priest continue the parish or must he be a convert from the Anglican Communion or the Episcopal Church?

I have also purchased the BDW.
