👉 Pseudoepiscopal is a term used in the context of the Church of England to refer to an ecclesiastical rank that was not formally recognized by the Church of England at any time. This rank was established by the Church of Scotland in 1539, and it is often referred to as "the Scottish episcopacy". However, this term has since been used more commonly within the Anglican tradition, and there are many different ways to define pseudoepiscopal status.
