So you are united to protesters? But the very term, “Protestant” necessarily means protester.
Do you not object to immorality and corruption and the abuses of indulgences by the popes of the day that incited the protests? Would you NOT have protested that within the church? Does that mean it's OK with you? Heck, I'd like to hear how rejecting the current duly elected Pope of Rome, Pope Francis, isn't also "protesting"!

There is already a term for that in history. It is called “The Counter-Reformation”

They are joining the ranks of Luther in protesting the direction the church is going, just as he did in his day.
