Ansolutely agree on the old church!! RCs would have had a few scattered missions, certainly not anything as established as that scene leads us to believe. I made the jump to RC because, well, erm, that's what I'm most familiar with.

I had the worst time trying to justify Dru's catholicism, and not knowing very much about the structure of the Anglican church -- even doing a little bit of research on J.H. Newman and the Tractarian movement, etc. I found myself at a loss. Ditto with the class issue attached to the RCism. Oh, don't start me :-)

So I pulled an ME, as much as it galled me. Glad it didn't interfere with your enjoyment of the story. Thanks so much for the FB.
