Maybe if the post conciliar Church is your measuring stick.
NB: When I get a few minutes ill reply to your comment about Ecumenism.
Anglicans were as doctrinally orthodox as the modern Orthodox and some traditional catholics during the reign of Henry viii who adhered to the traditional faith and sacraments but rejected papal jurisdiction. That rejection was important of course and led to the deaths of many saints.
I suppose too when people refer to historical Christianity they refer to the broad store of belief and practice we share; biblically based morality, sacramental practices , theological doctrine of the early Church councils etc.
Exactly. Of course, from a Catholic perspective (which is my perspective), the Church of England has never been orthodox. But surely there are degrees of unorthodoxy.
