Anglican Papalism, also referred to as Anglo-Papalism, is a subset of Anglo-Catholicism with adherents manifesting a particularly high degree of influence from, and even identification with, the Roman Catholic Church. This position has historically been referred to as Anglican Papalism; the term Anglo-Papalism is an American neologism and it seems not to have appeared in print prior to the 1990s. Anglican Papalists have suggested "that the only way to convert England is by means of an 'English Uniate' rite".[1] Anglican Papalists have historically practiced praying the Dominican rosary, among other Marian devotions, Corpus Christi procession, as well as the reservation of and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.[2]

St Saviour's, Hoxton, revealed the extremes of the Anglican Papalist agenda, to which most Anglican Papalist clergy subscribed. Few would go quite as far as Kilburn had gone in his use for all the services, but the other characteristics of the Kilburn regime at St Saviour's, such as reservation, benediction, use of the rosary and other Marian devotions, Corpus Christi processions and the use of the Roman rite in an English translation, were commonplace.
