[Cronos]

That would make you a protestant.

So, are you making everyone who disagrees with a Bishop of Rome, past or present on any matter: theological, political etc. a Protestant? So, if a Pope in the 12th century wore green and I don't like the color, I'm Protestant?

That's the problem with protestants -- they consider themselves by one definition only: they are not Catholics. The Orthodox don't do that, not a negative definition. So, if you want to club in protesters, you would include Lutherans, Calvinists, Mormons, Anglicans, Jehovah's Witnesses, Baptists, Methodists, Unitarians, Wesleyans, Christian Scientists(?!) etc. all under the same category. What a bunch!

If the fact that the Pope wore green caused you to break fellowship with Rome, then I'd have to say that you would be a Protestant. You broke fellowship in protest. That is the definition of a protestant.

The Orthodox don't do that, not a negative definition.

They broke fellowhsip with Rome over theological points. Hence, by the same definition that Luther was a protestant, the Orthodox are protestants.

So, if you want to club in protesters, you would include Lutherans, Calvinists, Mormons, Anglicans, Jehovah's Witnesses, Baptists, Methodists, Unitarians, Wesleyans, Christian Scientists(?!) etc. all under the same category. What a bunch!

Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Chistian Scientists do not claim to have ever been in fellowship with Rome nor do they claim to be protestants. They all believe that they were a restoration of a Gospel that was never present in Rome and further, they do not claim to be protestants nor do they have any theological connection to Rome or to the reformation. I'm not sure if Unitarians even claim to be Christians.
