The major thing or item about the Roman and Orthodox Churches that separate them from the Anglican Church and one another is that both claim to be the sole, One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church to the exclusion of both the others!
The Anglican Church has always claimed to be no more than Communion of Catholic believers within the Catholic Church. She bases her claims on her antiquity and her belief in the Apostolic Succession in both the faith and Catholic Orders! She also believes in Holy Tradition as taught, explained and interpreted by the Seven Ecumenical Councils.
As for Rome? She claims authority in Jurisdiction and Infallibility from S.Peter through the bishop of Rome, but,[to my mind, ] signally fails to prove it in any adequate manner!
Roman Catholic AnswerTechnically, the term "Roman Catholic" is not used by the Church herself, it is mostly used by Protestants to refer to the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church. For instance, I use "Roman Catholic" as I am Latin Rite, and it is the term that most people recognize. The Catholic Church is the one that was founded by Jesus and the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The Orthodox split occurred in the 11th century over the jurisdiction the the Papacy, and a lot of political arguing, which has been a source of anguish for the church for ten centuries now. The Orthodox are Catholic, and have valid Orders (a valid priesthood and line of succession in their bishops), and thus they have valid sacraments. The Holy Father, and various Patriarchs of the Orthodox church are working this out, as I type this. The Anglicans, on the other hand, are just another Protestant sect that broke away from the Church in the 16th century. They do not have valid Orders, and thus have no valid sacraments. Various groups of Anglicans are also working with the Holy Father and coming back to the Church, although in their case, their priests have to go back to the seminary and be ordained. Nevertheless, the Holy Father has graciously extended his hand to them, and they have, just has graciously, accepted. There is an Anglican priest who attends Mass at my parish every week with the school children. He will be coming into the Church at Christmas and this is a great cause of rejoicing. We have been splintered for way too long, and over the most amazing nonsense...

Whats the difference between being Catholic Protestant and Orthodox?
The main difference is the authority of the pope. Catholics accept it, Protestants and Orthodox don't. There are some differences in the cannon (list of books) included in the Old Testament (although they all have the same New Testament). There are several different types of Protestant religions (Lutheran, Methodist, Anglican, etc) which have differences between themselves and differences between Catholic/Orthodox. So complicated to get into more specifics.

What was the English church like in 1547?
Interesting question- it had newly become officially converted to the Church of England under King Henry VIII, but 1547 was the year in which he died. The early C of E had very little visible or noticeable differences from the Catholic Church other than that it permitted divorce, and Henry himself believed himself to be a Roman Catholic until he died. So the best answer would be that it was OFFICIALLY Anglican, but in those days the practical differences between the Anglican and Catholic Churches was marginal.

Is Anglican church part of Eastern Orthodox Church?
The generally accepted date for the split between what is now called the Roman Catholic Church and what is now called the Eastern Orthodox Church is 1054 AD. The Anglican Church is generally considered to come from the time of King Henry VIII in the 1530s, although some would say that the Anglicanism originated in the Elizabethan Settlement of 1559, since Queen Mary effectively returned the Church of England to Roman Catholicism earlier in the 1550s. In any case, since the people who subsequently became Church of England were previously Roman Catholic, and not Eastern Orthodox, and since the Orthodox and the Catholics parted ways in 1054, you might say that the Anglicans broke away from the Roman Catholics, but it would be extremely difficult to say the Anglicans broke away from the Eastern Orthodox.
