That's what I get for using someone else's shorthand!

Whether Anglicans are Catholic or not is a vexed question:

According to the Roman Catholic church, Anglicans are a Reformation-era 'ecclesial community', and thus not really a church at all - they apply the title only to themselves, their immediate associates the 'particular Catholic' churches such as the Maronites, and (since Vatican II) the Orthodox churches.

According to the vast majority of Anglican thought, the Anglican Communion is catholic (small c) in the sense of being part of the worldwide church, as expressed in the Nicene Creed. But Anglo-Catholics (like me) go further than that and say that the Anglican Communion is Catholic in exactly the sense that the Roman Catholic Church describes itself and the particular Catholic churches as being. The dispute is officially about whether the right bishops put their hands on the right heads during the Reformation, but more substantially is about whether or not a reformed church should be recognised as a church by Rome.
