Anglicans, do you see yourselves as more Protestant, or more Catholic?

I see myself a an Anglo-Catholic. our denomination is the via media. We are the bridge between the Roman Catholic Church and Protestantism. Our faith is one of unity in diversity.

We are about as Protestant as the Eastern Orthodox (who consider themselves another denomination all together). We are all part of the apostolic Church started by Christ and the apostles, and can trace our bishops back through the ages to the apostles, just as the RC, EO and OO can. We are catholic in this sense, and in the one that we're not "sola scriptura".

We're really only protestant to Rome. To the rest of Christendom, we're just Anglicans

I see myself as nothing more than a Christian practicing the Anglican catholic tradition.

You won't get any argument from me on that statement.

Well said!

I'm very happy that you all like my answer. You lot are very welcoming to newcomers

In response to the original post, I see myself as a Christian who belongs to the Catholic and Apostolic Church of Christ. All other labels are pointless in my opinion.

I see myself to be Anglo-Celtic-Catholic Christian. I do not consider myself Protestant.

Perfect!

I wouldn't say that I see my beliefs so much as Protestant vs. Catholic, but rather that I believe that the Catholic Church should have adopted some of the reforms at the time of the Reformation. These would be alone the lines of the primacy of God's grace over Man's works as the cause for our salvation, the Scriptures as containing all the knowledge necessary for Salvation, and the Reformation understanding of the distinction between the Law and Grace. I agree with the rest of historic catholicism to the extent that it conforms to these principles. So I guess I would say that I see my beliefs as Catholic, but with these Reformation distinctions.

Hi, Radix. Any changes in your church affiliation or the like during your absence?
