The problem with the anglicans is the fact they lost the traceability of the apostolic succession as the times goes by.
Till recently there were some anglican priest that required double ordination from a Catholic or Orthodox bishop to have absolute certainty of the apostolic succession..
In the beginning almost every anglican bishops had the true apostolic succession.. but, as the times goes by, they lost the traceability of the apostolic succession....
..

In my opinion they could find the way to jon all the christians under the same Church..

This apostolic succession thing is nonsense, just a fancy story to try and assert authority over other groups, but it's total nonsense.

It is a fact that your crazy King Henry VIII began to ordain the bishops without being a Bishop or a priest.... The english bishops who turned anglican continued to have apostolic succession.. but in the same moment there were fake bishops.... so it is not clear to track the apostolic succession..generation after generation..

I don't understand why you're salty about this. I am commenting on the iconography of the Roman Church that you think is illegitimate anyway. This is a comment on iconography, a man-made thing, not theology, so I fail to see how you could construe this as blasphemous.

your king Henry VIII did not want to become bishop and receive the apostolic succession .... but despite not having the apostolic succession he wanted to appoint some bishops .. That was a huge mistake of your king..

You wouldn't understand because Jesus means nothing to you.

No, it happened just the right way, by the grace a d Providence of God. A break from the Catholic system was required and ordained by God in order bring forth his will and spread the Gospel far and wide, largely from the Anglican British Empire in the coming centuries after Henry. The Church of England really blossomed spiritually after breaking away from the Vatican, and the kings of England in those days really took their duty to God as Defenders of the Faith seriously.
