In the Catholic Church, advocates of the vernacular invariably seem to be "spirit of Vatican II" liturgical vandals who are on a mission to obliterate Latin.

It's so rare and refreshing to encounter someone who sees a way to preserve both and in a manner in which they enrich each other.

Such lucidity is hard to find and it seems to fit right in with the "reform of the reform" and what the documents of Vatican II really speak to regarding the liturgy (at least as I understand them).

When did common sense depart Catholicism and find a refuge amongst the Anglo-Catholics?

Certain Catholics changed; certain Anglicans didn't.

But there are plenty of Anglicans who went stark raving mad, and correspondingly plenty of Catholics who clung to the old ways.

It would make a lot of sense if we just traded the bongo-beating "musicians", the loony liturgists, the short-haired mean "sisters", New Age philosophising "priests", and all the rest of the heterodox rabble for the faithful Anglicans.

Except I don't think the "musicians" will be welcome amongst the Anglicans. Whatever their theological faults (and they are legion), the Anglicans have always had Good Taste.
