Hah! That's a Myth. The substance of the Anglican Church is very different to Roman Catholacism, and very close to Methodism. As to a "greedy monarch" for are correct that Henry VIII personally wrote the original, irrc, 15 Articles but they are VERY different to the current 39, which were devised under Elizabeth I by the Churchmen, along with the BCP.
Anglo-Catholics aren't Catholics, they're Anglicans who don't like the direction the Church has taken.
