I do take note of the USA's Catholic bishops, whose positions, except on the pelvic issues, are identical to those of the Democrat Party, except in those cases where the Democrats are more conservative.
You are CORRECT in not paying a whole lot of attention to the Pope. Why WOULD you? The English are Anglicans, ruled, in name only by royalty...that king/queen being the HEAD of the Church of England. That king/queen is the "Anglican Pope." Nothing wrong with that. England's choice.
ALL that trial and tribulation because of Henry VIII and his quest for a son.
Yes, I do know that the Archbishop of Canterbury is the working head.
From Wikipedia:
The Archbishop of Canterbury is the senior bishop and principal leader of the Church of England, the symbolic head of the worldwide Anglican Communion and the diocesan bishop of the Diocese of Canterbury.
The current archbishop is Justin Welby. He is the 105th in a line which goes back more than 1400 years to Augustine of Canterbury, the "Apostle to the English", in the year 597.
On 9 November 2012 it was officially announced that Welby, then the Bishop of Durham, had been appointed to succeed Rowan Williams as the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury. His enthronement took place in Canterbury Cathedral on 21 March 2013.
And, Queen Elizabeth is STILL alive. She's only 88. HER MOTHER lived to be 101; the Queen Mother is in her PRIME!
She's the "Pope Benedict" of the Church of England.

What are examples, "except for where the Democrats are more conservative," of those positions?
"Conservative Democrats" sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it? How are those particular Democrats "conservative" and who are they?
The entire "note" you take sounds a bit confusing to me. Perhaps it's the British versus the American translation. :o) Truth be known, our politicians often confuse me, BOTH parties.
I DO watch "Prime Minister's Questions" when I can catch them on the boobustoobus. They are MOST entertaining. They sure show how important public speaking and "thinking on your feet" are to the English.
Those are good things as they create THINKING minds that have GOOD and LOGICAL reasons for their thinking.
God bless you and yours.
