The word Protestant originated at the 1529 Diet of Speyer, when the Lutheran Princes issued a "PROTESTATIO" i.e. a 'declaration' of their principles. They became the people of the declaration.
The word Protestant has had a number of interpretations over time, as the reformation itself evolved.
For instance some now would not class Luther as Protestant because he never denied the mass.
Esssentially the RC Church preaches that salvation is only for those who adhere totally to their teachings and doctrines, they interpret the Bible and RC's have to accept their word.
The Protestant Reformation taught that everybody has the right to read and interpret the Bible for themselves. When people began to study Scripture they saw that doctrines such as The Papacy, The Sacerdotal Priesthood, Transubstantiation, The Mass, The Immaculate Conception, Indulgences, Confessions, Holy Water, Rosary Beads, etc., etc., were all totally irrelevant to the simple Scriptural principle of Justification by Faith.

Get the protest dump mug.Statue protests never had anything to do with George Floyd's death. The one thing thing Confederate statues to George Floyd's death is strings of misinformation about what the Confederacy was and why there was a Civil War in America.
Statue protests have as much to do with George Floyd's death as penguins have to do with the North pole.

Get the Statue protests mug.A separate social media account devoted to following companies you will no longer buy from. A means of remembering all of the shady companies you don't like when they are out of the news cycle.

Get the Protest account mug.You got governors that march protest with protestors as long as they're not protesting something the governor is doing.
The governor doesnt really care about the protestors he's marching with, he cares about getting reelected, which is why you dont see him marching or protesting when people are protesting his agenda and policies. Expecting a business to survive after not being open for over 6 months, or expecting everyone to help support the business during a time where the economy isnt stable and unemployment is high are not realistic expectations.
