Anglicanism and Roman
Catholicism has always been
different from the other
Catholic-Protestant divides

meaningful theological matters
• Even after the split, the Church
of England maintained a
hierarchy with bishops and
priests – Apostolic succession

Апостольская преемственность
• Apostolic succession, in
Christianity, the principal
according to which bishops
represent a direct,
uninterrupted line of continuity
from the Apostles of Jesus
Christ.
