Basically almost everyone in Europe was catholic, whether they were forced to be or it was their own will. Spain and England had forced the religion upon their citizens making it the main religion. It was not until henry had a argument with the Pope that catholiscm started to disband.

Is the Russian orthodox church like the American Catholic Church?

Yes, in that they both originated with the Catholic Church, went into schism, while retaining valid Orders and valid sacraments: to that extent they are alike, although the American Catholic Church, which is derived from the Old Catholic Church, a schismatic group that went into schism after the First Vatican Council, is not in communion with the Catholic Church nor the Orthodox Church. The American Catholic Church is in communion with the Anglican Church meaning, when all is said and done, they are yet another protestant church, while the Russian Orthodox remains Catholic to a degree.

Why can't an Episcopalian from high church receive Communion in a Catholic church?

Roman Catholic AnswerAn Episcopalian, regardless of his persuasion (high church or low church) is still a protestant, even if he likes the more Catholic ceremonies of the high church. Holy Communion in a Catholic Church is restricted to those who believe as a Catholic and are in a state of grace (have been baptised, and have been to confession). An Episcopalian is not Catholic, and does not believe as the Catholic Church does. If he does believe what the Catholic Church does, like everyone else, he must attend RCIA classes and be legitimately brought into the Church at the Easter Vigil. Having been a "high church" Episcopalian myself, I know of what I speak!
