The Anglican Church worldwide is a group of churches that all uphold the ethos of the Anglican Church and which are in communion with other Anglican Churches. In this group are the Church of England, many African Churches and the Episcopalians in the USA.
The Anglican church is a very diverse group of churches ranging from evangelical charismatic worship that is reminiscent of Pentecostal churches at one end of the spectrum, through to more formal, liturgical worship at the other.
The Anglican Catholic Church (or 'Anglo-Catholic Church) is that small branch of the Anglican Church that celebrates its roots in Catholicism and whose worship reflects those roots. Unlike the evangelical wing of the Anglican Church, the Anglo-Catholic group places more emphasis on sacramental worship and its style of worship is much more like the Roman Church with the use of ornate riitual and liturgy, including, as an example, the use of incense.
In fact, the Anglo-Catholic wing is often almost indistinguishable from the Roman Catholic Church except that it refuses to accept the authority of the pope.
This diversity is one of the great strengths of the Anglican Church in that the same denomination can hold a range of traditions in union and love.

∙ 13y agoHistorically, there is no difference between the Catholic and Anglican Churches! Indeed the Anglican Church is merely a Communion of Catholic Believers wherever the Anglican Church is situated. It holds to the ancient faith revealed by Christ to the saints, recorded in scripture ,confirmed, explained and interpreted by the Holy Fathers in Seven Ecumenical Councils. This without any additions or subtractions! It is and always has been, to my mind a, Particular Church, within the Body of Christ!

What the difference between catholic church and Anglican?
There isn't one! The Anglican Church is the manifestation or showing forth of a Catholic Communion within the Body of Christ! A part of the whole!Or should I have asked which of the two separate and distinctive One True Catholic Church were you referring to?Roman Catholic AnswerAlthough classically the Anglican faith looks a lot like Catholicism, there is a vast difference. Catholicism is the church founded by Our Blessed Savior when He sent the Holy Spirit on the Apostles at Pentecost and prayed that they would be one. The Anglican church, as it was up until 30-40 years ago was founded by Elizabeth I as a compromise with the Protestants and the Catholics in her realm. The difference is one of authority, with the Catholic Church cleaving to the authority of Christ as manifested through Scripture and the Sacred Tradition, and interpreted by His Vicar on earth. The final authority in the Anglican Church rests between their bishops and the King or Queen of England.
