anglican catholic

[HomeTeamFamily]

so i should ask her to clairfy if she is an "anglo-catholic" or went to an anglican use catholic church?

the former is protestant and reception of the eucharist is not permitted
if she went to an anglican use catholic church, then all of the roman catholic stuff is still good for her right?

I'm not sure of how the term is used in the US but in England an "anglo-catholic" is almost always anglican.

If it's a catholic-style anglican church, it's protestant and Catholics are not allowed (according to the Magisterium) to [i]actively[/i] participate (though anglicans themselves welcome catholics).

If it's an anglican-use catholic church then, as stated, it's catholic.

There is a problem with nomenclature here. "Anglo-Catholic" literally means "English-Catholic" (think "Anglo-Saxon") and "Anglo-" doesn't specify whether English by race, English by language or "English by religion" (which would be "anglican which, literally means "english person", Again, not necessarily english by race...)

Right. The only "Anglican" anything that would be a legitimate Catholic would be a Catholic that attends an "Anglican Usage of the Roman Rite" Catholic church. Even then, she would have had to either already been Catholic or a convert to Catholicism. (ie - just because the parish changed to Catholic doesn't mean that all the former members were automatically converted. They would have had to all convert to Catholicism individually)

Anglo: "An English-speaking person, especially a white North American who is not of Hispanic or French descent."

"In contemporary American usage, Anglo is used primarily in direct contrast to Hispanic or Latino. In this context it is not limited to persons of English or even British descent, but can be generally applied to any non-Hispanic white person. Thus in parts of the United States with large Hispanic populations, an American of Polish, Irish, or German heritage might be termed an Anglo just as readily as a person of English descent."

Note: In the British Isles "Anglo" is sometimes used as a racist remark by Irish and Scots against English. The irony being is that the same people would be probably referred to as "anglo" in America....

St. Mary the Virgin Episcopal Church in Arlington, Texas, under the pastorship of Father Allan Hawkins became St. Mary the Virgin Catholic Church, with the entire congregation, and Father Hawkins himself, becoming full members of the Catholic Church.

After much agonizing, the entire parish voted to petition Catholic Bishop Joseph P. Delaney about such a possibility in June 1991. The congregation and Father Hawkins were received
