Are Anglo-Catholics love-struck Nerds?

That is the topic of a post by the Bob Catholic show down in OZ. He is a former Anglo-Catholic that has recently come home to Rome.

Now I don't think he is referring to all people who call themselves Anglo Catholics. Many Anglo Catholics think of themselves as a legitimate third way under this branch theory. Who he is talking about are those Anglo Catholics that would love to be recognized by Rome and to have their own rite. Rumors of this come up all the time that Rome is about to approve this new rite. In fact the rumors that Pope Benedict will do a motu proprio this year and make this a reality are all over the place. Like him I think that is a pipe dream. Good read though about a significant number of people that we should be encouraging to go ahead and come on over.
