Generally speaking there isn't much difference in the interiors. They are especially similar in the United States and in Britain. Both churches have altars at the front. Most Anglican and Catholic Churches have stained glass windows, Stations of the Cross on the Wall, Kneelers, and a generally are more ornate and decorative than what you see in Protestant Churches. I think that Catholic Churches are slightly more ornate in some cases. You will also normally see a statue or mural of the Virgin Mary featured prominently in Catholic churches, also there will often be confessionals at the back of Catholic Santuaries which are not present in Anglican Churches. To someone unfamiliar with either Church though, the interiors would look very similar. Hope that helps
The Anglican Church was formed when Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife for political reasons and the pope said no. Because this split was more political than theological, there are still a lot of similarities between Anglicans and Catholics. Both believe in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Both believe in his Real Presence in the Eucharist. Both have all 7 sacraments. The Masses are extremely similar, almost identical. There are a few differences, however:
1. Authority of the Pope - Catholics believe the pope is infallible when speaking with the authority of Peter on religious matters. Obviously Anglicans don't. Also, the Pope has greater authority over the Catholic Church than the Archbishop of Canterbury has over the Anglican one. Anglican Laymen have a more prominent voice in Church decisions than their Catholic counterparts.
2. Divorce - Anglicans recognize it and allow remarriage. Catholics believe divorce is not religiously possible and therefore remarriage would be a sin.
3. Contraception and Abortion - Anglicans have no problem with contraception, Catholics believe only in natural family planning. Anglicans permit abortion in the case of rape or incest or when the mother's life is in danger. Catholics see abortion as the murder of an infant whatever the circumstances.
4. Clergy - Anglicans permit women clergy and there is debate about homosexual clergy as well; Catholics permit neither.
5. Mary - Catholics believe in the Immaculate Conception (Mary was born without sin) and the Assumption (when she died, she rose bodily into heaven). Anglicans are permitted to believe or not believe in these doctrines as they see fit.
i know this much: Anglican Churches have Pulpits and Catholic Churches do not. Catholic Churches Tabernacles and Anglican Churches do not.
You can normally tell if it is Catholic or Anglican because there is usually a sign showing if it is Catholic or Anglican.
Anglican Catholic Church of Canada was created in 1977.
The Anglican Confirmation is not recognized in the Catholic Church.
Only interiors of sacred buildings had to be changed because priests began to preach face to face to believers.
Reformed Anglican Catholic Church was created in 2004.
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.
No WAY!!! The Anglican church is probably one of the closER Protestant "branch religions" to the Catholic Church, but it is still a Protestant religion. The Anglican church is missing some of the MOST key factors that "make" the Catholic Church Catholic. So "no, they are most definitely NOT the same."
There are two cathedrals - one Anglican, the other Roman Catholic. There's also the Royal Liver building. The centre has a certain grandeur.

The Anglican Church is the catholic Church in this country!As for the Buildings, they are of a similar type usually! Though in many cases the Anglican Churches are much older in style because of the greater antiquity of the Anglican Church.In belief both Churches claim catholicity, but again Anglican beliefs go back to the ancient Catholic Church of the first thousand years and the teachings of the catholic fathers! Whilst the Holy Roman Church, the new boy on the block, its faith was strongly influenced by the Council of TrentI assure you, Roman Catholics are not Anglican, and the first responder uses catholic in it's meaning as universal. Although we believe we are the one true church , we do not belabor people of other faiths publicly. England was Catholic before it was Anglican, as were many other countries before the Reformation. We think they doth PROTEST too much.Everyone has free will, and not be browbeaten into agreeing with anyone else.
