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:
“Every country gets the circus it deserves. Spain gets bullfights. Italy gets the Catholic Church. America gets Hollywood.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
“It is fatally easy for Western folk, who have discarded chastity as a value for themselves, to suppose that it can have no value for anyone else. At the same time as Californians try to re-invent “celibacy,” by which they seem to mean perverse restraint, the rest of us call societies which place a high value on chastity “backward.””
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
