Anglo-Catholicism
The Anglo-Catholicism (also known as High Church or Puseyism known) is a current within the Church of England , which the Anglican Catholic , d. H. interpreted sacramentally and in unbroken tradition with the ancient Church . This includes the Catholic understanding of the Eucharist and ministry and is made visible in a corresponding liturgy . During the 19th century, a group of clergy at Oxford University sparked a movement that sought a return to the Catholic elements of the Anglican Church (see Edward Bouverie Pusey ).
Anglo-Catholicism reached its greatest importance around the middle of the 19th century. After the conversion of John Henry Newman and other Anglo-Catholics to the Roman Catholic Church , his influence decreased, but is still effective today.
The counterpart to Anglo-Catholicism is the Low Church , which strictly represents Protestant-Calvinist positions.
