Am I crazy or....

Did Anglicanism used to be protestant?

I know Anglicanism considers itself a Catholic and Apostolic faith, and I agree, it is. But I have noticed that many have also forgotten its reformed Protestant heritage. They want to make it out to be Roman Catholicism sans Pope. And worse, they disdain the protestants in the Tradition.

Sorry to break it to you, the Early Anglican Church taught the Five Solas. While I myself am broad, and slightly less reformed than the reformers, I am frustrated that The Anglo-Catholic section of Anglicanism is so desparate to get rid of protestantism.

The Anglican Church is Catholic, in the True sense of the word. It is open to all Christians.

And it should stay that way.
