What does anglican mean, is it catholic or C of E?

Answer 1

Anglican= Church of England
Church of England is Catholic except that the Pope was replaced as head of the Church by the King of England.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is like the acting head of the Church, kind of like the Prime Minister of parliament is to the secular side of our Queen's empire. The Queen still out ranks him.

Episcopalian is The Church Of England operating outside of England or the Commonwealth and not under the authority of the Queen or the Archbishop of Canterbury. They are sort of orphans that way.

Answer 2

Anglican-Church Of England.

Answer 3

It is possible- just- to be a Christian in the CoE, which can be described as a Christian denomination because it takes its teachings only from the Bible, officially, anyway, though many Anglicans simply lie about that. It is deliberately designed to be open for Christians, but difficult for them, as are all denominations, which have been set up to contain Christians within the limits set by the evil people who run this evil world.

They were set up because it is not possible to be a Christian in the RCC, which is technically a cult. It lays claim to continuous succession of bishops from Peter, but even if this was possible, and it isn't, it would have no meaning at all. Despite its size, the RC cult is actually as preposterous as the Branch Davidians; possibly more so.

Answer 4

On a related topic, though, nominal Catholics who go to Church twice a year (Christmas & Easter) are known by the slang C&E.

Of course, in Vegas that also means "craps and eleven" on the craps table.

Answer 10

I have heard it referred to as "the Catholic Faith via England" We used to call them "Laid Back Catholics" seems we Catholics have much in common with them. I hear more and more are returning to the Catholic faith due to recent changes in their Church.
