First of all to reject the Anglican Church is to reject the Catholic Church, because that is what the Anglican Church is! Or at least a manifestation of the Body of Christ! The Church came to this country according to some sources, [Lingard, a Roman Scholar, ] just after the Death of Christ. He also reminds us that our first Bishop was Aristobulos, a friend of S. Pauls.The Puritans found all of this time wasting and irrelevant. They didn't agree with set liturgies and controlled prayer, they believed in a more personal approach to the Saviour. They didn't bother to take care of the church buildings or believe in what Our Bishop and martyr Bl, William Laud,] called ,'The beauty of holiness,'. They rejected the Real Presence and prayers to the Saints and Holy people of God, they had no thought for Tradition and the Holy Councils.Roman Catholic AnswerThe puritans rejected the Anglican Church because it was the established Church of England and they thought that when they had left the Catholic Church they had not left enough of its rituals and beliefs behind. They rejected the Catholic Church, ultimately due to man's sinful nature. They could not accept that the Catholic Church taught with the voice of Jesus, and they felt that their own interpretation of The Bible was enough to ensure their salvation. The sad thing is that in rejecting His Church, they were being disobedient to the very Bible they were claiming had the answers: Jesus said, "He who hears you, hears Me; he who rejects you, rejects Me."

Is it wrong to be catholic and attend Presbyterian Church?
The answer depends on what you mean by attend a Presbyterian Church. Sometimes in cases where a couple are a "mixed religion" that is to say one is Catholic but the other is not, it is not uncommon for either party to attend the parishes of each other. In other words the Catholic always attends Mass, but then also attends the Church of their spouse. In this case, this is not wrong provided attending the Church of ones spouse does not weaken or damage or otherwise threaten the Faith of the Catholic, or provided the Church the Catholic attends in addition to attending Mass faithfully is not explicitly or implicitly anti-catholic. However if one is Catholic but simply chooses to attend a non-catholic Christian Church, some red flags are raised. Why does such a person want to attend a non-catholic church? Why does such a person consider themselves Catholic when they do not want to attend Mass? Actions are extremely important to pointing to what one believes. Therefore one who calls themselves "Catholic" yet never attends Mass, or never attends a Catholic parish, but a Protestant Church is by their actions showing that they reject the Catholic Faith and have embraced another Faith. That, therefore is considered sinful provided the conditions for "Sin" are met.
