King Henry the Eighth wanted a divorce, and the Pope said no, so he started his own church. He appointed the Archbishop of Canterbury as the leader, who would be answerable to the King. The Queen of England is officially the head of the Anglican (Episcopalian) church.

Over the past few centuries, some differences have developed as both churches went their separate ways. For example, people canonized by the Catholic Church since then are not recognized as saints by the Anglicans. The Anglican Church has decided to ordain women as priests and in the U.S. has made an openly homosexual priest a bishop. But fundamentally the beliefs are not that different.

Lots of differences. Roman Catholics believe in transubstantiation (ie that the bread and wine actually change into Jesus' real flesh and blood, during Mass), they also have the Pope as head of their church; and don't allow women to become priests. The Roman Catholic Church disallows many forms of contraception and regards homosexual acts as sinful and is supposed to be anti-divorce. On the bright side, it does contain organisations which campaign for social justice for the poor and opressed, such as the Saint Vincent de Paul Society.

The Anglican Church doesn't believe in trasubstantiation, permits contraception, allows women to become priests and seems a teeny bit more tolerant of homosexuals. It also contains organisations which campaign for social justice. The King or Queen of England is the head of the Anglican church.

The Roman Church is under the Pope, The Angelican Church is not. They each have their own beliefs and rituals.

the biggest difference is the ability to divorce... the anglican church (otherwise known as the church of england) was created when Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife, but the Church wouldn't allow it. Therefore, he created a new church, the Church of England, which was basically exactly the same as the Roman Catholic Church, but it allowed divorce.

Catholicism pertains to the Roman "Catholic" Church, while Anglicans are Protestants who disagreed with the Pope's views yielding a schism that formed the Church of England (Anglo-Saxon).

The Anglican Church [or the national Church of England] was established by law in the 16th century, claiming to be a branch of the ancient Catholic Church, and repudiating the papal authority.

Peace be with you.

The Anglican Church, additionally undemanding because of the fact the Episcopal Church or the Church of england, is a particular Christian denomination. maximum does no longer evaluate it evangelical. "Evangelical" is a loosely descriptive time era that applies to many Christian denominations, in many situations based on the considered needing to be "Born returned" and distinctive others.

1) The Pope
2) No need to pay to get into Heaven
3) No limbo

ANY Catholic can get a divorce -- just ask the Kennedy's. My "good Catholic" ex-jerk husband divorced me, and remarried a non-Catholic before you could blink an eye. Cafeteria Catholics -- pick and choose what you want!
