Oh, these groups are Roman Catholic,
if liberal Protestant split-off groups are called Protestant.

Oh, these groups are Roman Catholic, if liberal Protestant split-off groups are called Protestant. "...Ecumenical Catholic Communion? Its offices are at Eden Theological Seminary, affiliated with the United Church of Christ. The pastor is a former Catholic priest who left the church in 1990 because he couldn’t accept celibacy, and is now married to another man." "Ecumenical Catholic Communion." Really? The fact that theses people claim to be Catholics, and accept a 'priest' and his she-husband, or he-wife (whatever the case may be) is all I need to know.

Not at all. The Roman Catholic Church is a specific group with very specific rules which, if you defy, you out yourself. Protestant, on the other hand, is an utterly generic term. Anybody can make a Protestant group because the only requirement is to not be Catholic or Orthodox.
