Hey!  I resemble that!
 
 But Anglocatholic worship in the style of Tridentine Liturgy is a  valid
liturgical worship form for Anglicans, and the theology that you  mention
here IS believed by many Anglicans. 
 
I do believe in Transubstantiation, and that the presider does  act "in
persona Christi" or even as the "Alter Christus" in evoking the
Sacrifice of Calvary.
 
However, I would NEVER impose my theology or imply that my way
is the only way for everyone.
 
If there is one rule to be applied to Anglicans, it is that their  theology
is varied.  Frankly, that's true for Roman Catholics, as well, with  as
many as 50% not adhering to the theology of  Transubstantiation.
