A church established under the reign of Elizabeth I. Claims that it is just another "branch" of the true Catholic church are unfounded. It was established using protestant texts from Edward VI reign whilst "ordaining" a William Parker (a layman) as the new Archbishop of Canterbury. The 2 remaining Catholic bishops in England wouldn't have a bar of it, so they cobbled together 4 worthies of dubious religious qualifications. Two were said to be ex catholic priests who jumped ship for the "new" religion although no records exist of they ever being ordained. The other two were protestant auxiliary bishops from the new religion. This Anglican/Church of England was established as a state church under the Monarchy who was to be the head, whilst Jesus got the job as spiritual director. All so called ordinations to this day stem from this William Parker. Pope Leo xiii in 1896 after a long and independent investigation by 6 interested parties who were give full access to Vatican records declared anglican orders to be "utterly null and void"
