The word Protestant is derived from the Latin protestari, meaning publicly declare, which refers to the letter of protestation by Lutheran princes against the decision of the Diet of Speyer in 1529, which reaffirmed the edict of the Diet of Worms in 1521, banning Luther's documents. Since that time, the term Protestantism or Protestant has been used in many different senses, often as a general term merely to signify that they are not Roman Catholics.
