Ah, no: the Anglican Catholic Church is, I believe, an alternative to the ECUSA; they believe themselves to be an Anglican church, and holds itself separate from the Roman Catholic Church. Whereas the Anglican Rite is part of the Roman Catholic Church, under authority of the Pope, who are allowed to use a rite that is very similar to the ECUSA rite, altered as little as possible to make it conform to Roman Catholic beliefs.

Ah, no. Both of those links are continuing Anglican churches. In fact, they used to be one continuing Anglican church.

Dear RonF,

"Whereas the Anglican Rite is part of the Roman Catholic Church, under authority of the Pope,..."

No, there is no Anglican Rite which is in communion with the Bishop of Rome. There are Anglican use parishes within the Latin Rite.

The folks at this link:

http://www.anglican-catholic.com/ed.htm

which NYer asked about, give no appearance of communion with the Bishop of Rome, and I don't believe that they claim any. They are just like the Anglican Catholic Church, from a Catholic perspective - another break-away group from the Anglican/Episcopal communion that is unhappy with the direction of that communion.
