Anglo-Catholic
Catholic-leaning Protestant denomination
Anglo-Catholic describes a tradition within Anglicanism that emphasizes continuity with Catholic Christianity—retaining elements like elaborate liturgy, sacramental theology, and veneration of saints that Protestantism largely rejected.
An Anglo-Catholic service might include incense, vestments, and ritual that resembles Roman Catholic worship.
The term also serves as a noun for adherents: She was raised Anglo-Catholic.
