Second, the Protestants, like Muslims, deny free will.

Not true. Some Protestants are very much in the camp of free will.

Anglicans? They have just sealed their fate by agreeing to ordain women bishops. Admitting free will becomes meaningless.

Stripes -- I've said this before: this is the problem when we make a statement about the dogma followed by a particular Church: I can say that xyz is the Dogma of the Catholic Church or the Orthodox Church and I know that it is the dogma of every group of individuals in that Church. People may not follow it, but that is still the Dogma of the Church.

however, when I use that generic term protestant, I'm clubbing together such a divergent group of beliefs -- like you say, YOU believe in free will (good!), some others (Calvinists) don't. The term is too all-encompassing (like the other religious term: Hinduism)
