That seems more like the state's problem than the church's

It is the church's fault for penetrating but the state's fault for consenting

What? Anglicanism was created by King Henry VIII. I guess you could argue it actually was a sort of separation of church and state, since it removed the Roman Catholic influence over domestic affairs (except through those people still following the Pope).

A fundamental aspect as well since the core of anglican is that the monarch is the head of the church. But the monarch is also head of state...

I didn't even know they allowed priestesses. Sounds like good news to me!
