Richard Neuhaus, of First Things fame, has a story that he used to relate in artilces.

As a former Luthern, he had friends in the Roman Catholic Church that, like him, had spent time in other denominations. As the Second Vatican had changed the Catholic Mass in ways that many traditionalists resented, Neuhaus would relate to story of a former Anglican, now in the RC Church with him, who, while they were listening to the Mass, would sometimes murmur, “Oh, how I miss the Mass in its native English” (or words to that effect). To him the Anglican high-church Book of Common Prayer in many ways kept the formality of the Latin Mass much more faithfully than the Second Vatican americanized versions for that fellow.

What is interesting to me is that Neuhaus kept a picture of Walther (one of the founders of the LCMS) in his apartment and turned the reigns of his magazine over to a LCMS Lutheran.
