Oh, I used to argue most vehemently that the Anglicans were in schism, but not heretics.

And from a purely technical view, I believe that is correct. Episcopalians used to not be "Protestant" in the strictest sense of the word. Nowadays, of course, they ARE screaming moonbat heretics, which is why we are now Catholics.

But in the old days we caught flak from both sides -- the Catholics looked at us as "Catholic Lite" at best, while the "real" Protestants thought we were, if not the Scarlet Woman, at least her handmaiden.

Yes, I remember that. As one of my Catholic friends later put it, "you'd still be Catholic except for Henry VIII wanting to get into Anne Boleyn's pants", LOL. Our diocese was mostly low-church though. Alas, from what I can see of the current state of "King Henry's Catholic Church" (I bailed out in the early 80's) "low church" probably means you only have the gay orgies once a month on Holy Communion Sundays. ;)
