Anglo-Catholicism

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Anglo-Catholicism 

a movement within the Anglican Church for the return to Catholicism, but without merging with the Roman Catholic Church. It began on the eve of the English Bourgeois Revolution in the 17th century as an anti-Puritan movement; it reappeared in the so-called Oxford movement of the 1830’s and 1840’s. Anglo-Catholicism opposes religious modernism and state intervention in the affairs of the church. The Anglo-Catholics are the most conservative group of Anglicans, with many supporters among the English aristocracy.

UNITY BY INCLUSION by Curl, James Stevens / The Architectural Review
Uncomfortable with Eliot's Anglo-Catholicism (which he oddly confused with Puritanism), more distant still from Dante's vision, unconvinced by Sikelianos's grand post-Christian belief in a transcendent divine, Seferis's best guess about his final destiny, haltingly but with conviction advanced in these mysterious poems, is for a final consummation of all things in a refining fire.
Seferis's Three Secret Poems by Ricks, David / Harvard Review
Largely because of their Anglo-Catholicism, they all help to reveal the inexhaustible theological meaning of the poem as a function of the allegory that Dante in his genius embedded in the poem.
