How improved is the Anglican church now from a hundred years ago?

I personally don't think it has improved.
It still holds to its false teachings, such as the clergy-laity divide. But now it has added new issues: ordaining unrepentant homosexuals, blessing those who have remarried after divorce, and allowing women to have teaching authority over men, and lead in ways which The Bible says they should not. I am glad that they are trying to rectify the problem of not allowing women to do anything in the church except serve tea, but as usual they have gone about it in totally the wrong way.
Btw I am a woman, so no comments about me being a male chauvinist pig, k?

Was northampton going to be the capital of England?
According to a few articles online, Northampton was actually capital of England from 931 for a couple of hundred years. I have not found any sources for these claims yet. Northampton has got a cathedral, although it is a Roman Catholic one instead of an Anglican one. Ironically, though that stops Northampton being designated a city now, it wouldn't have in the few hundred years between England's unification and the start of the Anglican church.
What the difference between catholic church and Anglican?
There isn't one! The Anglican Church is the manifestation or showing forth of a Catholic Communion within the Body of Christ! A part of the whole!Or should I have asked which of the two separate and distinctive One True Catholic Church were you referring to?Roman Catholic AnswerAlthough classically the Anglican faith looks a lot like Catholicism, there is a vast difference. Catholicism is the church founded by Our Blessed Savior when He sent the Holy Spirit on the Apostles at Pentecost and prayed that they would be one. The Anglican church, as it was up until 30-40 years ago was founded by Elizabeth I as a compromise with the Protestants and the Catholics in her realm. The difference is one of authority, with the Catholic Church cleaving to the authority of Christ as manifested through Scripture and the Sacred Tradition, and interpreted by His Vicar on earth. The final authority in the Anglican Church rests between their bishops and the King or Queen of England.
What was the major change Henry VIII made in England?
Anglican Catholic Answer!I should imagine it was the confiscation of the monastery wealth of all kinds. Whilst it made many rich, it also caused an economic crisis according to Gibson.AS far as the Catholic Church was concerned Henry took an enormous step, when he and the Anglican Church told the pope that the papacy was breaking the Law or Canons of the Church. Canons from the Seven Ecumemical Councils, or at least three of the major ones, defined quite clearly the place of the bishops in the Catholic Church. No bishop could infringe on the rights of another bishop without the permission of that bishop or Holy Tradition! This was a matter that had been debated for 3 or four hundred years in the western Church and some 1500 yrs in the Eastern Church. Now the English had taken sides and theirs was not a Protestant one, but an Orthodox Catholic One! The Anglican Church reverted to the Church of the first thousand years, before the break with Orthodoxy and the usurpation by William of Normandy!
Are the Catholic and Anglican churches similar in building and belief?
The Anglican Church is the catholic Church in this country!As for the Buildings, they are of a similar type usually! Though in many cases the Anglican Churches are much older in style because of the greater antiquity of the Anglican Church.In belief both Churches claim catholicity, but again Anglican beliefs go back to the ancient Catholic Church of the first thousand years and the teachings of the catholic fathers! Whilst the Holy Roman Church, the new boy on the block, its faith was strongly influenced by the Council of TrentI assure you, Roman Catholics are not Anglican, and the first responder uses catholic in it's meaning as universal. Although we believe we are the one true church , we do not belabor people of other faiths publicly. England was Catholic before it was Anglican, as were many other countries before the Reformation. We think they doth PROTEST too much.Everyone has free will, and not be browbeaten into agreeing with anyone else.
How did Hendry gain support his Anglican Church?
I take it you mean Henry as in 8? Henry didn't need to gain to much support for the Church in England, for most people it was ,'their,' Church. All he had to do was keep it on the right lines and not deviate from the faith or make additions to it! While some people did fall away, on the whole, after all the misuse and neglect over the three hundred years the people of England stayed wonderfully loyal to the ancient Church.
Can a catholic man marry a Anglican in an Anglican church?
No. Unless the Church has changed in 20 years, you will have to get your marriage annulled by the Bishop of your local Catholic Archdioces. It will take a while and there is a lot of paperwork involved. If it is important to you and your future bride then approach the priest of your local parrish or the priest that married you and your ex-wife and discuss your wishes to be re-married in the Catholic Church and find out from him what you will need to do.
