Have you noticed that for the most the Protestants here are avoiding the question of the article: When did the Great Apostasy occur? All they are doing is raising objections to particular teachings or practices because they personally disagree with them. But is the truth of Christianity is to be founded on what the individual, rather than the church as a whole, believes then there can be no certainty on any Christian doctrine, including what makes up the canon of the Scriptures.

That's because the question itself, and proofs offered, are non sequiturs. Our armchair apologist offers Mormons and Jehovahs' Witnesses as his lead examples, but neither are protestant groups. Our armchair apologist has yet to prove that his assertion that (most/all) Protestants believe a Great Apostasy occurred.

When did the Great Apostasy occur?

Sometime right before the Reformation. It must be so, as I've been told that Rome moves so slow because of its immense size that it was impossible for it to address and correct any errors of some of its representatives in a timely fashion. In sum, the Great Apostasy (of the time) occurred around of Leo X, was countered by the Reformation as the faithful fled.

Yes. And this is a very important topic. No apostasy = no reason to be separate. Dominus vobiscum.
