How is eucharist in Anglican church and catholic church?
The Eucharist is a practice both in the Anglican Church (The Church of England) and the Catholic Church (The Church of Rome.) This is because the Anglican Church is a break-off of the Catholic Church and so retains some of the Catholic teachings. The Anglican Church was started for various reasons by King Henry VIII of England, who wanted the English Catholics to look to him as the head of the English Church, and not to the Pope. Henry kept most of the Catholic Church's doctrines, and one of such doctrines was the doctrine of the Eucharist, which is, in the Catholic Church, the physical, true presence of the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ in the form of bread and wine. However, since the Anglicans rebelled against the Pope and broke off from the main body of Catholics, this was heresy and since they are not in communion with the Chair of Peter, their Eucharist is not truly the Body and Blood of Jesus, as the religion is heresy.
