	Protestantism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Protestants, Reformation, membership, the 5 fundamental principles of protestantism
		This leaves the Protestants without any authority to call attention on any possible "errors": The Baptists, for example, have "Conventions" to set up policies of the Church, but if a Baptist believes that Jesus is not God, no one has any authority to tell him that he is wrong, he still can be a Baptist!...
		In principle, no one in a Protestant Church has "authority" to say to other what is "right" or "wrong", because each individual has the right to interpret the Bible in his own way...
		Every good Protestant, not only has faith, he is a good person, a good neighbor, does good things to the poor and needed, he witnesses Christ with his life and word, or preaches Jesus Christ...

		She had little sympathy with Protestant extremists who wanted to strip the Church of it's finery, ban choral music, vestments and bell ringing, and liked her Church just the way it was.

		She disliked long Protestant sermons, but also expressed displeasure at some Catholic rituals such as the elevation of the host, which implied that she rejected the Catholic belief of transubstantiation.

	ON THE EMIGRATION OF PROTESTANTS
		Unhappily for the country, after some years of quiet and prosperous settlement, some of the new proprietors, dreaming that this quiet would not again be broken, and discovering that the natives would sometimes offer a larger rent than the settlers, began to admit them as tenants on their farms.
		So extensive an emigration of that Protestant population, on which the safety of the property and the allegiance of this island so much depend, is entitled to the deepest attention; and it well becomes every man, who is anxious for the public weal, to endeavour to ascertain the real causes of so disastrous an evil.
		The protestant farmer in making his proposal, calculates whether he will be able to feed, and clothe, and educate his family on the profit; and as his decent and respectable habits of life require a certain expenditure, he feels he can, as an honest man, offer only a certain moderate rent for the farm.

		One of the things that's probably new in the last generation is that the average Protestant church finds within its pews that at least half of the people there did not grow up within the denomination of that church.
		The average Protestant church is a mix of about half, or maybe a little more, of people who are cradle Episcopalians, or Lutherans, or Presbyterians, and people whom sociologists tend to refer to as "switchers." It's not only liberals who switch across denominations.
		Many American Protestant congregations were founded 100 or 150 years ago in the countryside, or in sections of cities that have gone through transition after transition.

	American Catholicism Assessed From Within

		Whether Protestants have to be informed of this fact may possibly be debated but the fact itself cannot be.
		Whether we like it or not, Protestants and Catholics are inevitably related to each other by the concept of opposition, and the opposition is stronger the nearer we approach the moment of the split of one from the other.

		Yet sharp criticism is a far cry from vague bad-mouthing, and when I hear some malcontent running down this Protestant country as “bigoted” or “racist” I feel a mild impulse to suggest that he shut the hell up.
		The self-effacing Protestant style is even a topic of a special kind of comedy: think of Mary Tyler Moore, Garrison Keillor, or Bob Newhart.
		Protestants are supposed to be humorless, but there is a very definite Protestant humor, dry and subtle, and the world could use more of it.

	Touchstone Archives: The Catholic Court Appeal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Whereas serious Catholics are generally united in acceptance of natural law, both Protestants and Jews in America are split; members of these faiths tend to gravitate toward either a secularist or a scripturalist view of law.
		Not only were the country’s founding documents rooted in natural law, but the everyday work of everyday lawyers was also rooted in natural law.
		A Catholic-led court is therefore unlikely to seize power and impose its will on the country, as the 1973 Supreme Court did when, without constitutional authority, it struck down abortion laws, basing its ruling on a right to privacy found by an earlier case in “penumbras, formed by emanations” from various constitutional amendments.
