Williams is the 104th in the list of Archbishops of Canterbury, a line stretching back more than 1400 years to Saint Augustine of Canterbury, who founded the see, the oldest in England, in the year 597. Along with the Church of England as a whole, these archbishops were Roman Catholic until the English Reformation, c. 1534, when the independence of the English church was established.

The Roman Catholic Claim

According the Catholic Encyclopedia the Anglican Church (Church of England) broke off their claim to apostolic succession during the early years of the Protestant Reformation, in the sixteen century, which also invalidates their claim to valid, apostolic Holy Orders.

This happened when King Henry the VIII (who had been seeking the Pope's approval of a divorce from his wife), in 1534, by Act of Parliament, was made the Supreme Head of the English Church (Church of England). The bishops, instead of swearing obedience to the Pope, were now forced to swear allegiance to the King. Blessed John Fisher (a canonized saint of the Catholic Church) was the only bishop who refused to denounce the prime authority of the Bishop of Rome (the Pope); the King's intolerance of Fisher's enduring claim led to Fisher being beheaded in 1535 (see also St. Thomas More, who met a very similar fate for the same reasons). For John Arbuthnot Fisher, British admiral, see Jackie Fisher, 1st Baron Fisher. ... There are also several institutions named Thomas More College. ...

In 1990, the Catholic US Bishops created a document titled "Anglican Orders: A Report on the Evolving Context of Their Evaluation in the Roman Catholic Church" that explains the latest dialgoue surrounding this the topic of Anglican orders.

Present roles and status

Today the archbishop fills four main roles:

1. he is the diocesan bishop of the Diocese of Canterbury, which covers the east of the County of Kent and extreme north-east Surrey. Founded in 597, it is the oldest see in the English church.
2. he is the metropolitan archbishop of the Province of Canterbury, which covers the southern two-thirds of England.
3. as Primate of All England, he is the chief religious figure in the Church of England (the British sovereign is the "Supreme governor" of the church) and its primary leader. Along with his colleague the Archbishop of York he chairs the General Synod and sits or chairs many of the church's important boards and committees; power in the church is not highly centralised, however, so the two archbishops can often lead only through persuasion. The Archbishop of Canterbury plays a central part in national ceremonies such as coronations; thanks to his high public profile, his opinions are often in demand by the news media.
4. as head of the Anglican Communion, the archbishop, although without legal authority outside England, is recognized by convention as primus inter pares ("first among equals") of all Anglican primates worldwide. Since 1867 he has convened more or less decennial meetings of worldwide Anglican bishops, the Lambeth Conferences.

In respect of the last two of these functions, he has an important ecumenical and interfaith role, speaking on behalf of Anglicans in England and worldwide.
