What, exactly, is the “seed” of Protestantism?”

The Bible

Our nation is the only crucial western nation that has not gone through an orthodox Christian stage in its development. Protestantism was its religious guide, and Calvinistic Puritanism particularly powerful in its formation. Hence, many aspects of American life reflect the four-fold killing of the body, flight from a harsh God, and plunging into a ruleless Creation that I have noted above.”

Or...one might say, rather, that since America was planted on soil that had never been corrupted by Catholicism, it became the greatest experiment in freedom the world has ever known. Protestantism, America and Liberty are inseparable.

Better yet, the Word of God.
