Preparation of the Altar - Anglican Use Missal St Joseph's Catholic Church

[supernatural2029]

I don't understand if this mass catholic or anglican?

Anglicans do not reject Apostolic traditions in any way. However this video is not of an Anglican church but an Anglican Use Catholic Church. Many Anglicans also embrace the veneration of the Saints as well as the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist where common bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ. We find we have much more in common with Roman Catholics than we do with evangelical, non denominational churches, at least in the United States.

I am not an anglican but it reminds me the catholic church, specially the old catholic church before the vatican council when the altar was changed and stuff like that. even I am not sure if anglicans follow the same as roman catholics since they claim to be catholics but reject the apostolic tradition or what? the veneration to the saints as catholics and orthodoxs do?

@supernatural2029 What you're viewing is entirely Catholic, in communion with the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI. It's a different use in the Roman Rite, called the Anglican Use

Some notes: it's English/Anglican tradition (and actually of the whole church before the baroque period) to use the longer surplices for all servers and use only two candles on the altar.

The Anglican Use is absolutely beautiful! Thank God for Anglicanorum Coetibus, and thank God for Pope Benedict!
