There is no difference, Anglicans are Catholics and have a history of some two thousand years holding the Catholic and Apostolic Faith! Holding to to Revelation, Scripture and Holy Tradition through the Seven Ecumenical Councils.

Mind you we do not hold to the papacy and the teachings of Trent or the Two Vatican Councils. Neither do we hold to any additions to the deposit!

There are some doctrinal differences but the greatest split between the two religions is that the Catholics look to the pope as their spiritual leader on earth while the Anglicans do not. This is changing as more and more Anglicans, including priests and bishops, return to Catholicism due to lack of a firm, central leadership in that Church and some extreme policies (eg: ordination of women, gays, etc.) taken by some Anglican leaders.

Roman Catholic AnswerCatholics are the Christian Church established by Our Blessed Lord with the Apostles, and the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The Anglicans are a protestant ecclesial community started by King Henry VIII in the sixteenth century in England in protest of the disciplines of Christianity.
