Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: an 'Anglican Catholic' is an Anglican who emphasizes Catholic traditions or practices, which is inferable from combining 'Anglican' and 'Catholic'. This adjective–noun/compound pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows ordinary semantic modification, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reasonably deduce the meaning.
Etymology
Anglican Catholic names a person in the Anglican 'church' who follows many Catholic practices. Picture an Anglican service that looks like a Roman Catholic one. That image shows why the phrase means an Anglican who focuses on 'Catholic traditions'.
