      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

        concerns about Robinson’s “libertarian anti-woke, anti-identity politics, Covid-sceptical” political views and his use of social media, particularly Twitter, to disseminate them."

        Not according to the Catholic church. They’re not Anglicans according to the Anglican church either.

            Weirdly, it means “universal”. It’s just used as a short for “Roman-Catholic”. The orthodox church is officially the “Orthodox Catholic Church”.
