      Anglican and Catholic are two of the largest distinct and separate branches of Christianity. You can’t just mash them together, it doesn’t work like that.

          Well colour me corrected. This is the first time I’ve ever heard the Anglican church referred to as the Anglican Catholic church.

                Australia’s Anglican church is the Anglican Church of Australia, which has 3.1 million members. The Anglican Catholic church is a very confused and tiny church with only 35k members.

                The Anglican Catholics split from the American Episcopal church, which itself split from the Anglicans when the US split from England. After all, having the king as the head of your church doesn’t make much sense if you just had a revolution to declare independence from that king.

                So, it’s pretty weird, the Anglican Catholics want to be connected to the Anglican church, after their church split from the Anglicans in the American Revolution, and to the Catholics who split from the Protestants in the 1500s. It’s almost as confused as something like Jews for Jesus.
