Can I become a catholic and still attend my anglican church?
Yes of course. The only thing you cannot do is to receive communion in the Anglican church – go up for a blessing instead – but attending services there is fine. I was received into the Catholic Church in 2002, and go to Mass nearly every week. I was in my Anglican village choir for years, and still I am asked to sing there sometimes. Every year I attend Remembrance with the Anglicans. My best friend is a Baptist, and I have even attended services in his chapel, even though he and everyone there knows I am a Papist. Since Vatican 2, Catholics are perfectly happy about it. Whether your Anglican vicar is happy having a Catholic in his midst is another matter, but that’s his problem. Anglicans should be happy to welcome all, of whatever faith or none at all, since this swells the numbers and spreads the word.
