Based on what I've found in the Catholic Encyclopedia, the Catholic Church
denies what you're telling me about the Anglican Church. In its article
on Apostolic Succession (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01641a.htm), it 
specifically says, 'That the Anglican Church, in particular, has broken
away from Apostolic unity.' In its article on the Anglican Church 
(http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01498a.htm), under the section 
entitled 'Anglican Revival,' it tells of a school of thought within the 
Anglican Church that 'has set up the claim, hopelessly untenable in the 
face of historical evidence, that the Anglican Church is one and 
continuous with the Ancient Catholic Church of the country, and is an 
integral portion of the Catholic Church of today.' So, the Catholic 
Encyclopedia seems to hold the position that Anglicans are not Catholics.

Since I am neither Anglican nor Catholic, I have no stake in the issue.
But I wanted to be clear on the subject. The claim that Anglicans are
Catholics seems to be one maintained mainly by some, but not all,
Anglicans, and it is not, as far as I've ascertained, accepted by Roman
Catholics. So, it does seem to be an internal matter after all.
