Those that were faithful Catholics mostly dealt with it by giving up their lives as martyrs under Henry VIII, Edward, and Elizabeth I. These three monarchs produced a lot of martyrs.
The Church of England is also known as the Anglican Church. It is a Protestant Religion that is an offshoot of Catholicism and came into being during the reign of Henry the 8th.
.Catholic AnswerOf course not, an Anglican is a protestant, a Catholic Church is Catholic. An Anglican may receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church after completing RCIA classes and being brought into the Church at the Easter Vigil, but if they wish to remain an Anglican, they are, by that very fact, proclaiming that they are not in communion with the Catholic Church, so to receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church would be a lie and dangerous to their spiritual well-being. Aside from all that, Catholics to not "take" Holy Communion, they "receive" Holy Communion.
The Anglican Church is not called the Anglican Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church is not formally known as the Roman Catholic Church even though the Vatican is indeed located in Rome. Your question therefore would more accurately read, can an Anglican priest say Mass at a Catholic Church. The answer is, the Catholic religion does not allow Anglican priests to officiate at their rituals. The Anglican Church, despite being extremely similar to the Catholic Church in most respects, is nonetheless regarded by Catholicism as a heretical schism.
Depending upon the Parish, The blessed Sacrament. Some Anglican Parishes have the Blessed Sacrament reserved in tabernacles and other Anglican parishes fully consume the blessed sacrament after mass and do not reserve the blessed sacrament. Since the breakaway during the reign of King Henry, both churches are still basically the same. Today the Anglican church is leaning further towards the traditions of the parent church. Answer There are very little differences between the interior of a Catholic and Anglican church. Both have altars at the east end (although most Anglicans call it the 'Communion Table'). All have pulpits, fonts (baptitries), lecterns, communion rails, and so on. The main differences are * that the Anglican Church is very eclectic - drawing Christians of all styles of worship. Contrary to the answer above, the Anglican Church is not leaning towards the traditions of the 'parent' church, whatever that means. If anything it is moving towards the evangelical tradition, and becoming more protestant. Those of a Catholic tradition but within the Church of England are becoming more isolated as they refuse to accept the wishes of the majority of the Church, decided upon by prayer and discernment of God's will for the church, and are, on average, less evangelical (in the 'outward looking' sense) than the rest so that that branch of the church is slowly dying. The acceptance of women as priests in the 1990s, and the recent acceptance of women bishops has meant that leaning towards a parent church in the Catholics is a misconception, and it means that unity with the Catholics is unlikely in the forseeable future, until the Catholics adopt a more modern and informed approach. * The church has all the advantages of being a state church - in that all ppeople in the Anglican Church have the right to pastoral and spiritual care whether they attend church or not, but the church does not have to sumbit to the authority of an 'infallible' Pope. The head of the Anglican church is Jesus Christ, and the supreme governor on earth is the reigning monarch. Thus, the Anglican church takes its teaching from the Bible rather than from the church heirarchy.
The first Anglican church built in Canada was St. Matthew's Church, constructed in 1820 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Christ Church Cathedral in Vancouver was completed later, with its first structure built in 1888. St. Matthew's holds the distinction of being the earliest Anglican establishment in the country.
Because he was the head of it
Just to point out, the Anglican church is a protestant church, indeed it is the main protestant church. King Henry VIII (8th) split from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century due to not being allowed to divorce one woman and marry another; the Anglican (Church of England) church has been considered theprotestant religion ever since. The monarch of the UK is the head of the Anglican religion much like the Roman Pope is the head of the Roman Catholic church. The current head is Queen Elizabeth II. Anglican miniters (priests) do consider the Anglican church to still be Catholic in the latin sense of that word, which means "universal" Anglican churches only allow someone to marry in their churches if at least one of the parties getting married is a member of the Anglican faith (from any country, not just the UK)

An Anglican is a member of The Anglican Communion which is a branch of Christianity that encompasses the Church of England and many other world-wide Churches which trace their spiritual succession back to the Archbishop of Canterbury. These member Churches are known as being a part of the "Anglican Communion" The Archbishop of Canterbury is the spiritual figurehead of the "Anglican Communion" and is based in 'The Church of England'. The Anglican Church was formally organized in 1539 when The Church in England became Independent from Rome under the reign of Henry VIII. The Anglican Church considers itself a "bridge Church" between Catholic and Protestant, being both and neither at the same time. The Anglican Church encompasses the traditions, rites, sacraments, and creeds of the ancient Holy Catholic Church which it is a part of, holding strong to the authority of the priesthood and necessity for bishops in apostolic succession. Yet, it also considers itself Protestant in that their is a significant "evangelical" or "protestant" faction within the Anglican Communion. The Anglican Communion has many different schools of thought, some are very Catholic (high Church) some are more Protestant (low church) and some are in between(broad church). The Book of Common Prayer is what holds all Anglicans together, it is the universal doctrine, discipline and liturgy for all Anglicans world-wide and it is what holds all Anglicans together, it is the foundation of the history of Anglicanism and it is the basis of Anglican worship. The central core of Anglican worship is the Celebration of the Holy Eucharist (the Mass, Lords Supper, Holy Communion) as it is believed to be truly the presence of Jesus Christ.
It is enough that they be adult confirmed Catholics. It is advisable that they be old enough to care for a child in an emergency. ADDENDUM The Anglican Church and Lutheran Church, share a similar Theology of Godparents: the minimum guideline is sixteen, with the proposed Godparent being both Baptised and Confirmed in the church. In the Russian Orthodox Church, the canons state specifically that the proposed Godparent may not be a minor, a parent of the child, or a non-Orthodox Christian.
The Episcopalian Church is a branch of the worldwide Anglican Church - which includes the Church in Wales, the Episcopalian Church of Scotland and the Church of Ireland. Most Anglican churches nowadays practise what is known as an 'open table'. This means that anyone who normally receives Holy Communion (or mass) in their own church (whatever the denomination - Baptist, URC, Methodist, Roman Catholic or any other Christian denomination) is able to receive Holy Communion in an Anglican Church, which, of course, includes the Episcopalian Church. Some Anglican Churches go a stage further and invite anyone to receive Holy Communion, whether or not they are communicant members of another church, their love of Christ being the only criterion for acceptance at the table. In the Roman Catholic Church, however, the inclusive nature of an open table is not reciprocated. The official line is that anyone who is not a Roman Catholic may not receive mass.
Kate Becinsale is a Christian, I don't know her denomination, but I would guess her being Escoplian/Anglican for her being Englsih.
