    I mean church in the loosest sense of the word since it was literally only created in 1997 as an offshoot because they didn’t like women becoming ordained.

      Describes a lot of churches origins, many people wanted to move forward and a healthy chunk wanted to go backwards in response.

      Anglican Catholic Church

      The church part of the name isn’t what really gets me. How can a schisim(from the episcopalians) of an offshoot(from the church of England) of a schisim(from the Catholic Church) proclaim itself katholikos (universal).

        Meanings of words evolve. They’re refering to the belief system rather than to the original meaning and ethymology. But when you know it does sound funny.

          Yeah it’s just the Catholics, with their belief in universal authority of the Pope, actually still embody that original etymology.
