Evidently "Protestant" is now a term about which those who protest the claims of the Holy See to authority disagree! Some of those who protest the claims don't want others who protest the claims to call themselves "Protestant".

So it goes. Leave it to Christians to find things to tangle about. "See how they love one another."

Look upon it as an attempt to cut down on some misunderstandings created by generalizations about "Protestants".

So far in this thread I've read that not only don't we disbelieve in the real presence, but we refuse the Eucharist. We have female ministers, we don't believe in the Trinity (since we claim descent from Arians & it seems we have Luther to thank for that), we all seem to teach that artificial birth control is okie dokey, our understanding about the catholic church is wrong & confoozled, seems we do not understand the difference between truth and the expression of truth, between accuracy and precision, we do not understand the notion of context . .

Back in post #18, Campion wrote: I have a suggestion. Why don't you let us describe our own beliefs, instead of trying to tell us what we believe (and getting it wrong).

We're told what we believe all of the time & here it began with the article that began this thread.
