Yes, welcome home.
I too, left the evangelical wing of TEC back in the 80’s. When I realized what a mess their seminaries were (students didnt believe the creed, gay theology) it was clear I had to move.
The Catholic Church is not perfect. But, it is making huge strides especially with B16. The MP and the new translation of the sacramentary (due in 2008) will go a long way to changing the foofy liturgies in many parishes.

Sound doctrine will make it possible for me (I pray) to tolerate Masses where the priest sits in the Captain Kirk chair while the miasmal excrescences of Marty Haugen and David Haas waft into the nave. ROFL!!!!!!!
Still ... my dear sir: Welcome to Rome. Be careful ... the heretics haven't all been purged ... and some of them sit in Captain Kirk's chair.

I do not labor under the illusion all is milk and honey on the other side of the Tiber. It is not, the Roman Catholic Church, especially in the United States, is beset with woes, lousy liturgy and music being among the less egregious. Well said. Many people die a martyrdom of sorts on trading in the best of Anglo-Catholicism for the worst of modern Catholic liturgical insanity.
But with martyrdom comes Resurrection. So here's my little prediction: the fruit of their piety will be a Catholic Church in the English-speaking world that is renewed and restored by all the great work Anglo-Catholics have been doing over the past 200 years. I fully expect Anglo-Catholicism to come roaring back to life *within* the Roman communion.
I wonder if it would be too much to politely implore my God if I might get to sit in the pews of a Sarum Mass before I die. :)
