As an Anglican, I am a Catholic in the same sense that Canadians are
Americans.  
'Roman Catholic' is often shortened to 'Catholic'.  Instead of meeting
at Rome, 
the Anglican bishops meet at the 'Lambeth Conference', for which a
variant in Pritchard is named.

Anglicans tend to be very conservative in our private morals, but broadly
tolerant of others who differ from us, with the Golden Rule as guide.  
Particularly, we are noted for respecting individual decisions
about human-made rules and guidelines.  We are often told, 'The only
rule
about thus-and-so is that no one is allowed to make a rule.'

Perhaps the interest that this thread has provoked has something to 
do with the appeal of chess variants.  So long as you are fair to
the other person, you may play chess any way you wish.
