A bit more about me
I was actually baptised in the RC Church then left church althogether. Later (in high school) I made a committment to Jesus and was a part of the charismatic movement in Jamaica. Got turned off by some of the 'excesses' and lack of real 'substance' (read 'intellectual discussion').
Later I joined an Anglican Church, a 'high-church' with its 'bells & smells'. My rector did post-grad work at Notre Dame and instilled in me a love/appreciation of liturgy. He then went off to become Anglican Dean/Lecturer in Liturgics at the Seminary.

My new rector, a former member of my congregation also went to Notre Dame and studied Liturgics.
We were close and he encouraged my appreciation for Liturgics. He would always loan me his copies of Modern Liturgy (now Ministry & Liturgy). Later on he left Jamaica and became a Franciscan Monk, based in New York/Long Island. He later on "had enough" (my words) of the 'situation' at the friary and went to Jamaica to run the Retreat Center. When the Jamaican Synod of the CPWI (Church in the Province of the West Indies) agreed to admit women into the priesthood he became a Roman Catholic.
My mom (whom I adore) is a fervent Roman Catholic (even went to Trinidad, I think it was, to see PJP 2 when he visited there).
Much as I try to ignore it, I sometimes feel like there is an elephant in my room - the Roman Catholic Church.

A word from a Traditional Anglican in Korea
I also studied in the Roman Church, but never joined even though I attend their Masses quite often because I have many friends there. But there is no spiritually left since Vatican II. Spent years attending the Greek Church, but there you need to be a Greek. So now I'm an Anglican orphan.
The Korean Church in the 60's was in my opinion was the true church. And I would like to encourage you to remain an Anglican. I post Anglican documents and doctrine on my BLOG. If you are interested please logon to:
