When Catholics go Episcopalian: high church or low church?

[Brigid34]

I was raised as an Episcopalian. From my observations there, the majority of Catholics-turned-Anglicans were people who did so because of divorce and remarriage issues.

That’s what I experienced too, coming from being an Episcopalian. There seemed to be no care for the liturgy but the looseness of the doctrines and rules.

I am an Episcopalian who swam the Tiber in my forties and my old Episcopal denomination had quite a few Catholics who left the Church over two issues: one was the hurt of being forbidden communion after remarrying even if the first marriage was a disaster and they did not cause the divorce, because they had married in the Church, and the second was because either being or knowing a close relative who was not only homosexual, but wished to live openly as a gay person and be accepted by the religious body. These people turned their back on the Catholic Church on those two issues and the majority of Episcopalians I know cite those two issues as a general rule for remaining separated from the Catholic Church.

If they wanted the liturgy, they would’ve gone Anglican/Anglo-Catholic. They are basically unconverted Catholics.
