There are many different rites here in the States, one of them being the Anglican Rite. The thing with the Anglican Rite is that they use the Book of Divine Worship instead of the Missale Romanum. But since you probably know that, no point in explaining. However, it is cool to compare the Anglican Rite to the Roman Rite and if you are a big anglophile, then it is cool to see how Mass was done in England.

1. There is no such thing as an Anglican Rite. There is an Anglican Use provision, which is not by any means a separate rite. It is a subset of a subset of the set. It is not a Rite of the Church, as was explained earlier in the thread, some four years ago.
2. The Mass was never “done in England” according to the Anglican use. The Mass in England was in Latin, like the rest of the Western Church, until the Reformation, when it was outlawed, though some continued to secretly celebrate it (in Latin, of course). When Catholicism was again legally permitted in England after 1829, the Latin Mass was again used. This continued until after Vatican II, at which time the Ordinary Form came in–though permission was extended for a Tridentine Mass indult in England in 1970.

The Anglican Use represents what a small minority of Anglicans celebrated, which was the liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer with elements from the Missale Romanum, translated into Elizabethan English, added. This was used by a small group of Anglicans who called themselves Anglo-Catholic, but this sort of ceremony has never been used in the Catholic Church except through the Anglican Use provision in the USA, and therefore bears no resemblance “how the Mass was celebrated in England” ever.

Hi, i’m new and i was just wondering, how many diffrent types of Catholic parts are there(roman, ect). What are the major diffrences, if someone could please give me an answer, it would be appriciated, well God bless, bye.

There are 23 Catholic Churches, one in the West and twenty-two in the East. They all use the same Catechism (beliefs) and are subject to the Pope. There differences are their country of origin, their Canon Law (discipline) and Liturgy in some cases.
