[OLD REGGIE]

The only belief that all Protestants hold in common is that they don't obey papal teaching.

Wrong. Protestants in general obey Papal teaching which they accept as correct, not because the Pope teaches it but because it is correct.

It is more accurate to say Protestants don't obey Papal teaching simply because the Pope "said so".

I would say that we Protestants hold to the teachings of the Pope as long as scripture doesn’t disagree. When scripture disagrees with the Pope, guess who I am believing in?
