Wouldn’t “Anglican Catholic Church” mean he’s Catholic? (Genuine question!)

[–] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 22 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The "Anglican Catholic Church" is actually not affiliated with either the holy see (the "actual" Roman Catholic Church) or the Anglican Church (as headed by the Archbishop Canterbury and the King of England).

He joined it because he didn't make the cut to become an actual Anglican Priest because of

concerns about Robinson's "libertarian anti-woke, anti-identity politics, Covid-sceptical" political views and his use of social media, particularly Twitter, to disseminate them."

Can't speak for the actual Anglican church because I've never been to the UK. But the episcopalian church, which is the american spinoff of the Anglican church, is the most accepting church I'm aware of. They regularly put up signs with a rainbow flag that say "All Are Welcome"

Not according to the Catholic church. They're not Anglicans according to the Anglican church either.

So... "let's be neither of those things by using both of their names at the same time"?

Huh, very interesting!

Angelican usually refers to the Church of England, a Protestant denomination.

"Catholic" usually refers to the Catholicism, a catholic denomination.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Weirdly, it means "universal". It's just used as a short for "Roman-Catholic". The orthodox church is officially the "Orthodox Catholic Church".

Gotcha! I had no clue Anglican was a protestant denomination. TIL!
