It's hilarious to me to see something actually get a priest kicked out of the Catholic church.
He's not Catholic.
Wouldn’t “Anglican Catholic Church” mean he’s Catholic? (Genuine question!)
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
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.
Anglican really just means a version of the Catholic church splintered off by Anglo-Saxons, and Catholic means for everyone, so all their church name really means is a Anglican tradition, or style church for everyone. Thera millions of sects out there that use very similar titles and terminology, it's not always misleading even if it's confusing or obscure language.
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.
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!
