The Anglican Church is the ancient Catholic Church in England. Its provenance, or beginning, is well recorded by the early fathers as being about the time of the Crucifixion. See the Councils of the Roman Church in the Middle Ages where it is closely discussed.
Another view In outward appearances, many Church of England churches bear a resemblance to Catholicism, but that is where the similarity ends. Catholicism is the Mystical Body of Christ, and is guaranteed by Him under His Vicar, the Pope in Rome. The Church of England is a protestant church created many centuries later by the King, Queen, and Parliament.
