Anglicanism was made a religion in the 16th century when King Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife for not being able to have sons. The catholic pope said he was being senseless and couldn't do that, which in turn caused King Henry VIII to start his own religion with himself as the head, and made it the law that all of England had to follow it.

They do not follow the Pope's teachings, in fact, for centuries in England, Catholics were discriminated against.
