Doesn’t have to be necessarily for it to be a valid confirmation. I think you’re referring to it as a reception was throwing some of us off. But now that you’ve explained more it’s clear it was a Catholic confirmation. It just appears that your priest has been granted the faculty to confirm by your bishop which is not terribly uncommon.

So all is normal in the world, the RCC wasn’t recognizing your Anglican confirmation as valid.

Which fits.
 
You know it’s funny, because all of a sudden I have a newfound appreciation for historic anglicanism: the prayer book, the rite and liturgy, even the 39 articles. Maybe I SHOULD stay on this side of the Tiber

Maybe. Don’t miss out on investigating the Ordinarinate and Antiochian Western Rite Vicariate, some fascinating history there

Too bad you don’t have the Anglican rite where you are.

It’s the best of both worlds.

I LOVED the Anglican liturgy and especially their midnight mass.

In some ways it doesn’t get closer to Catholicism than Anglicanism, particularly around the turn of the 1900’s after the Oxford Movement. And we do love our liturgy (most of us anyway, went to a rare Rite III service last weekend that was far less liturgical than typical). And our prayer book, at least the '79 is a study in contrasts with the OF like Rite II and the more EF Rite I. Yet like their Catholic counterparts both are simply different expressions of the same wonderful mass.

Prayer Book Anglicanism *is *Catholicism. It is Catholic in and of itself, without the need to gussy it up with liturgies from Rome or the East. That’s just my humble opinion.

A lot of Anglo-Catholics might have an alternate opinion!😃

Of course they do. They always do! On that subject, though, at least, they would be outside the bounds of historic Anglicanism. Which is fine, but they should become Latin Catholics or Orthodox, if they feel that way about the Prayer Book. For those who are consciously Anglican, though, the Prayer Book is fully Catholic. Just not Latin.

An excellent example of motley, this exchange.

Oh come now, we do have *some *boundaries 😃

Seriously, we do. I would argue TEC and the ACC has long exceeded those boundaries, for example.

Don’t think I suggested otherwise :confused:

In fact I think that’s pretty much what I said (when I said Catholicism I was referring to Roman Catholicism 👍)

No, I don’t think you suggested otherwise. Just interjecting my opinion more for the benefit of Catholics or Anglo-Catholics who may feel inclined that the Prayer Book is deficient without the addition of Latin Church dogma or liturgical forms.

I’d disagree and say they’re still within the boundaries by way of response. 😉

That said, I wouldn’t expect you to agree. If the ACNA did it wouldn’t exist 🤷.
