The difference is: Christianity is any one who is a follower and believer in Jesus. This includes Pentecostal, Anglican, Protestant, Catholic...

Catholicism maintains direct roots (The Pope) with the apostles, with Peter as the first Pope. In the early 1500's after Martin Luther protested against the Catholic Church, King Henry (II or III) after wanting a divorce (which the Catholic Church said no to) made his own church, The Church of England so he could get a divorce.

-and hence protestants follow some random guy with no direct link with Jesus -King Henry

Catholicism believes to reach salvation/heaven both faith and good works are required. Although most other Christian denominations (e.g. Lutherans) believe that believing that God exists alone will allow you to get to heaven.

Holy Communion and The Pope are exclusive to the Catholic church, although Eastern-Orthodox also believes in the Eucharist.

Catholicism is 1500 years (except Orthodox which is almost identical to Catholicism) older than any other Christian denomination, with these denominations basing their beliefs on the bible alone which Catholicism does not do, including other basis's.

IN THE END CATHOLICISM IS BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY BECAUSE BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY IS THAT WHICH EXISTS WITHIN THE BIBLE AND CATHOLICISM WAS THAT

No, there is not a difference between Catholicism in the United States or Great Britain - except for the funny accent; as we are members of One, Holy, catholic, and Apostolic Church. We use the same Missal, Church calendar, and rubrics. And Catholicism is the "original" form of Christianity; as opposed to the myriad of "Flavors" offered today.

What are the key differences between Anglo-Catholicism and Roman Catholicism?

Anglo-Catholicism and Roman Catholicism are both branches of Christianity, but they have some key differences. One major difference is that Anglo-Catholicism is a subset of Anglicanism, while Roman Catholicism is a separate denomination. Another difference is that Anglo-Catholicism allows for more flexibility in certain beliefs and practices, while Roman Catholicism follows the teachings of the Pope and the Vatican more strictly. Additionally, Roman Catholicism places a greater emphasis on the authority of the Pope and the doctrine of papal infallibility, while Anglo-Catholicism tends to have a more decentralized structure.
