Maybe we should do a quick review of the definition of those three terms, which, without question, apply to all those individuals:

• Prominent: Widely known; famous, stands out.
• Protestant: A Western Christian who is not an adherent of the Catholic or Orthodox Church.
• Leader: A person who guides or directs a group.

A most helpful review. I don't know which is sadder - that you would define "Protestant" by what it is not, or that your definition declares Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Creflo Dollar, and Jeremiah Wright to be fellow "Christians".

That's pretty ironic considering that Catholics are constantly accusing us of identifying ourselves based on what we oppose, or what we are not.

But broad brushing is so much more fun and Catholics just love their labels, even when they get it wrong.
