Does this article say that Anglicanism was founded by St. Augustine? Is that an article of faith for the Anglican church? The saint himself would be suprised to hear it.

And all along Augustine thought he was a loyal papist!

Most peg the origins of "Anglican Christianity" with the martyrdom of St Alban in 303.

Most Anglicans are papists the why most Orthodox are papists. They just disagree with the Pope over what it means to be a papist.

You know I sort of rolled right past that. I doubt St Augustine was ever in England.

This St. Augustine is not the same St. Augustine, the philosopher from North Africa in the 4th Century.

No it says the cathedral was founded by St. Augustine; i.e. St. Augustine of Canterbury (died 604), first archbishop of that see.

There were two St. Augustines. This one is not St. Augustine of Hippo, but rather St. Augustine of Canterbury.

It says this cathedral, not Anglicanism, was founded by Augustine (of Canterbury),...not to be cofused with the theologian St. Augustine of Hippo.
