we have a long and protracted legal battle to hold onto our property and treasure, so we join the RCs and get to fund the settlements for the pervert priests?

I don't think this is true. They're talking about a Uniate relationship, we would have our own bishops and ecclesiastical structure with our dioceses. We would not become a part of the local RC diocese.

Would this be a full fledged Anglican rite, similar to the Byzantine rite in Catholicsm, which is Catholic but not Roman Catholic while of course accepting papal supremacy?

I'm just guessing and going on limited knowledge.

I'd never heard of "Uniate" before, but now I think I understand...

I think you guys would defidently get that. I wonder though if doctrinal problems can be bridged such as an all male clergy (of course yours would continue to include married men without a problem), prohibition on birth control (despite the widespread diobedience by the faithful), and papal infallability (which is a rather limited concept, but still a binding one)
