Anglo-Papalism refers to the position of those Anglo-Catholics who consider themselves subject to the Pope despite the impairment of communion between them, and who adopt many of the liturgical and devotional practices of Tridentine Roman Catholicism. It is sometimes considered pejorative.

[edit] Liturgy

Historically, Anglo-Catholics who adopted Roman Rite practices (such as the Tridentine Mass and lace cottas) were seen as Anglo-Papalist. Today, use of the Mass of Paul VI is similarly regarded as an Anglo-Papalist trend. Unlike the Tridentine Mass, which can be justified as a rite of the ancient, undivided church, parishes which use the Mass of Paul VI imply a belief that they remain under the authority of the Papacy and should adhere to the liturgical reforms it has implemented, even after the secession of the Church of England from Rome. Use of the Mass of Paul VI is more common among parishes associated with Forward in Faith.
