What is the difference between the Anglican catholic church and the Anglocan Church?

Answer 1

To be a Catholic, one has to be a member of the Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, the Body of Christ! It is usually by Baptism that one gains this privilege and later after being taught the Catholic Faith then one is Confirmed in all by the Bishop. The faith we are taught is the Faith that was revealed by Christ to the apostles and saints and was passed on by them to the bishops, where it is completed, explained and interpreted by the bishops through the media of the Seven Ecumenical Councils. There is no other faith under heaven by which we can gain salvation!

The Catholic Church is not a highly centralised body with a powerful human figurehead, but is the Body of Christ here on earth the central body being through the affilliation of the particular local and national groups through the apostolical succession, both in Orders and the Catholic Faith. There is but the One Church and its earthly authority lies through the Bishops and their mouth piece the Holy Councils.

This Church arrived in Britain shortly after Christ's Crucifixion [S.Dorotheus of Tyre.] and its first bishop was Aristobulos, Brother of S.Barnabus. [Ch.His. Orth.] It has lasted in this country , a particular Church, i.e. The Church in England. In the 16th, Cent, it broke away from the growing papalist sect and didn't join the robber council of Trent. ,by the 20th, Century after being under pressure from a series

Roman Catholic AnswerNot much, they are both protestant churchs, the one tries to be more Catholic then the Catholic Church in ritual, and claims for itself historical basis in the Catholic Church, but the Pope has formally ruled that neither one has Orders (a valid succession of bishops) and so neither one is Catholic.

The Church of Christ

The visible religious society, distinct from the Synagogue, instituted directly by Christ, under one head, St. Peter and his successors, the popes, for the purpose of preserving and propagated his teaching, and of safeguarding and using the same means of salvation (sacrifice and sacraments). It has certain marks (unity, holiness, catholicity, and apostolicity) by which it can be know. It enjoys the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and Christ has promised to be with it "all days, even to the consummation of the world" (Matt. 28:20), so that it is indefectible. He has commanded all men to join the Church, which is the one ark of salvation for all.

Anglicanism

I. The body of Protestant episcopal churches deriving from and in communion with the Church of England, including the churches of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the United States, South Africa, etc. with their missions and dependencies.

ii. The system of faith and morals professed by these bodies. These it is impossible to summarize owing to the diversity of belief and (to a lesser degree) of conduct taught, permitted, and tolerated in Anglicanism. From the definite "romanizing" of a section of the high-church party to the extreme liberalism of certain dignitaries and professors, many varieties of Christian thought can be found. They are usually very roughly classified as high-church, broad-church, and low-church; but, as Father Humphry Johnson has justly observed, there exists within the Church of England "a larger and more important party than any of these, though a less articulate one. This party serves as a cement between the others." According to the official Book of Common Prayer the articles of the three creeds are to be believed; The Bible contains all things necessary to salvation; Purgatory, indulgences, veneration of images and relics, and the invocation of saints are "vainly invented" and "repugnant to the word of God"; two sacraments necessary for salvation were ordained by Christ, Baptism and the Supper of the Lord; transubstantiation "is repugnant to the plain words of Scripture"; the "sacrifices of Masses . . . were blasphemous fables and dangerous deceits"; "the Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction in this realm of England," etc. These still represent the belief of many Anglicans.
