I am aware! I also am aware that the Archbishop of Cantebury is presently in China. Why would Cantebury be in China if not to speard God's Word? The World Anglican Communion is growing at a very fast rate. You can share God's Word and be a nationalists.

Canterbury may well be in China to spread druidism. Well, you asked. Also, as Leo XIII definitively declared, that "nationalist" church of yours lacks apostolic succession and therefore legitimate Mass and sacraments. Way back in the 3rd or 4th century, Tertullian observed that the hallmarks of orthodoxy were antiquity, universality and consensus. It seems unlikely that "nationalism" would be part of a universal church unless the UN has become dangerously more powerful than most of us imagine.
