Anglicanism was made a religion in the 16th century when King Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife for not being able to have sons. The catholic pope said he was being senseless and couldn't do that, which in turn caused King Henry VIII to start his own religion with himself as the head, and made it the law that all of England had to follow it.

Anglicanism is simply the Catholic Church, in England. The Body of Christ arrived in Britain just after the Crucifixion according to the Church fathers, various dates are given. But Aristobulos the friend of S.Paul, who is mentioned in Romans, is claimed by some, to be first Bishop . The Church was originally called simply the Church in Britain, but in 750 AD, Baeda the Historian refers to it as the Ecclesia Anglicana, the Church of the English. Again in Magna Carta the same expression is used Ecclesia Anglicana and this occurs all through the middle ages, until today!

The origins of the current Church of England lay with Henry VIII and the dissolution of the monasteries. Virtually all Anglicans would hotly dispute the notion they are nominal Catholics. They do not follow the Pope's teachings, in fact, for centuries in England, Catholics were discriminated against.
