Anglicanism is the state Church of England. It originally was a form of Catholicism not in communion with Rome, but it eventually split doctrinally into Protestantism. It views itself as “both apostolic and reformed,” as many high church Anglican groups still have the standards for valid but illicit sacraments, meaning they have apostolic succession. They’re bread and wine does turn to the body and blood according to Catholics. Many low church Anglicans are pure Protestants, with no apostolic succession. Catholics says they’re ecclesiastical communities. In this sense, Anglicanism is an umbrella term for the different forms of English Christian traditions, not counting the many specific groups not in the Anglican communion. There is one Anglican Church in Serbia, St. Mary’s in Belgrade. They look like more traditionalist Anglicans. There are also Anglican churches in China in Hong Kong, which was a big center of British imperialism. That’s about it

Their Eucharistic sacrament is not valid since they do not have apostolic succession. Ordination was changed under Anglicanism which rendered their priesthood un-apostolic.

Since it is not valid I highly doubt transubstantiation occurs during their mass.

Wasn't that before a few schismatic bishops stirred the pot on the whole issue?

Seriously, who would want to be associated with the Anglican Church anymore?

Actually, its a """heaven""" for libtards.

Can non Romans be RCC? Can non Greeks be Greek Orthodox? The Via Media is a unique theology that preserves tradition while privileging scripture first, as the doctors and fathers justified their teachings thereby.

It was always Protestant. It split doctrinally the moment is was created over the divorce issue.

>as many high church Anglican groups still have the standards for valid but illicit sacraments, meaning they have apostolic succession.

That is not what apostolic succession means, and their orders have been declared null and void at least three times over by Catholics and more recently by most Orthodox.

>hey’re bread and wine does turn to the body and blood according to Catholics.

It emphatically does not. Catholics emphatically reject Anglican orders.

>Catholics says they’re ecclesiastical communities.

Catholics say they're protestants.

>Anglicanism is an umbrella term for the different forms of English Christian traditions, not counting the many specific groups not in the Anglican communion.

Ehh sort of, but not the way you're using. There is an Anglican Ordinatiate that refers to English Christian traditions, but Anglicanism is widely understood to mean exclusively the Church of England.

Basically nothing you said was true. Not surprising coming from a baptist. I say that not to slight you, but only to mean that you guys generally don't understand Apostolic Christianity.

If you define Protestant as "not the Roman Catholic Church", sure, what isn't. But you can't honestly look at the church of Henry VIII and say that is what the reformers taught.

>It split doctrinally the moment is was created over the divorce issue.

They never said divorce was ok. Officially, Henry had an annulment.
