Right, "Catholic-lite" as Robin Williams once observed.
Inherent in the Protestant reformation is the rejection of ceremony, tradition and hierarchy in favor of the "personal relationship" with Jesus (whatever that means to the believer) and the direction from the Bible. Of course, the Bible is a deeply contradictory book and communication with Jesus is one-sided, hence all the fragmentation among Protestant sects.
Anglicanism is therefore closer, in my view, to Catholicism than Protestantism.
