Catholic Societies Within Anglicanism
Since the time of the Oxford Movement (also known as the "Catholic Revival") in the Church of England (and her sister churches), there have been organizations whose purpose is the propagation of Catholic faith and practice within the Anglican tradition. The Society of King Charles the Martyr is among the most famous of these societies, which include the Society of Mary (Anglican), the Guild of All Souls and the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament.
Each of these societies champions one aspect of Catholic faith and practice that otherwise could be considered underemphasized by the Anglican Churches as a whole. For the Society of King Charles the Martyr, this is the cultus of Charles I of England, King and Martyr.

Famous quotes containing the words catholic and/or societies:
“I maintain that I have been a Negro three times—a Negro baby, a Negro girl and a Negro woman. Still, if you have received no clear cut impression of what the Negro in America is like, then you are in the same place with me. There is no The Negro here. Our lives are so diversified, internal attitudes so varied, appearances and capabilities so different, that there is no possible classification so catholic that it will cover us all, except My people! My people!”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“The great end of all human industry is the attainment of happiness. For this were arts invented, sciences cultivated, laws ordained, and societies modelled, by the most profound wisdom of patriots and legislators. Even the lonely savage, who lies exposed to the inclemency of the elements and the fury of wild beasts, forgets not, for a moment, this grand object of his being.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
