Definition of protestant

1 Protestant

a : any of a group of German princes and cities presenting a defense of freedom of conscience against an edict of the Diet of Speyer in 1529 intended to suppress the Lutheran movement

b : a member of any of several church denominations denying the universal authority of the Pope and affirming the Reformation principles of justification by faith alone, the priesthood of all believers, and the primacy of the Bible as the only source of revealed truth; broadly : a Christian not of a Catholic or Eastern church

Yet you claim you're not a protestant. Hypocrisy at its finest.

I am a follower of Christ as I have told you numerous times. That makes me a Christian. Just like the disciples who followed Christ. (Acts 11:26)

I do not recall you, or hardly any other Roman Catholic, making that public profession.

You're right. Christians reject the papacy and do rely upon Scripture. Scripture is inspired. Not Roman Catholic "Tradition".

You however, must follow your current pope in what he says. You have no choice per Unam Sanctam....or does that not apply to you?

So tell us, ebb....which one of these aspects of the Roman Catholic church are you a member of [date in parenthesis date of origin...pay special attention to them]:

Catholic Charismatic Renewal – 160 million[4]

Blue Army of Our Lady of Fátima – 20 million (1946)

This one was very interesting.

The official pledge of membership is: I pledge myself to Our Lady and wish [a totally non-Biblical, and in fact, a contradictory position from both Old and New Testaments], thereby, to join the World Apostolate of Fátima

Dear Queen and Mother, who promised at Fátima to convert Russia and bring peace to all mankind, in reparation for my sins and the sins of the whole world, I solemnly promise to Your Immaculate Heart:

To offer up every day the sacrifices demanded by my daily duty

To pray at least five decades of the Rosary daily while meditating on the Mysteries

To wear the Scapular of Mount Carmel as profession of this promise and as an act of consecration to You,

To accomplish the devotion of the Five First Saturdays of the month, including the fifteen-minute meditation on the Mysteries of the Rosary.

I shall renew this promise often, especially in moments of temptation.

Legion of Mary (active and auxiliary) – 10 million

Well, if you feel free to define Protestantism, then we are free to define who is a Catholic or not.

Frank is a Catholic. Elected by Catholic officials to hold the highest position in the Catholic church.

He is yours, like it or not.

You have no choice about submitting to him per Unum Sanctum.
