Catholicism is the first Protestant denomination because the protested against the Orthodox about a thousand years ago because the Orthodox preferred Jesus as their leader instead of a pope.

didn't quite happen that way..the schism occured when the eastern church left the original Roman church. However, both eastern and western Catholics are still in communion with one another....some internal things to overcome but both share the same faith essentials.

Yes and for good reason.

They wanted to not have a man between them and God.

Catholicism protested that and therefore are the first Protestants.
