I'm going with Protestant

Though I can not directly say the Protestantism was created and broke from the Catholic Church in 1520, I can say that Martin Luther wrote an article called the Freedom of a Christian that was published in 1520. This time period was when the Catholic Church was challenged after their large power and wealth was noticed and uncovered. Though in recent years, single people challenged the church, they were quickly silenced. The printing press was now available, and word was spread faster than the Catholic Church could help but shut down, and reform was called for with Martin Luther at the head.

Catholic AnswerProtestant

from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957

An adherent of any one of the religious bodies detached from the Catholic Church at the time of the Reformation or of any sect deriving from them; one who professes the doctrines of those reformers. The name was first applied to and accepted by those Lutherans who protested against the decree of the second Diet of Speyer (1529) which ordained that in those states where the new religion had got a hold Catholic doctrine should not be attacked nor the celebration of Mass interfered with, pending the decisions of a council of the Empire.

Its use afterwards spread to all reformers and is now generally interpreted as a "protest against the errors of the Church of Rome." It is a gross and misleading mistake to apply the name to members of the dissident Eastern churches, or to "after-Christians" who repudiate Protestantism equally or (nearly equally) with Catholicism.

In the 1500s, the general movement that led to a division in the Church in the West has come to be known as the "Reformation". This movement consisted of many different groups, each with distinct ideas about reform, but the general term to describe these protesters as a whole is "Protestants".

Are Catholics really the first Christians?

In one sense, yes, in another, no. The early chuurch was known as the catholic church (with a small 'C' as 'catholic' simply means 'universal'. So the first universal Christian church would have been 'catholic'. However, since then the Roman Catholic Church some believe, has moved far away from the early Christian church both in practise (in the extra liturgy of the mass, priestly celibacy, rejection of women's priesthood, papal infallibility and so on) and in belief (the introduction of purgatory, over adulation of Mary etc). So in this sense it can be argued that the present Catholic church is no longer the same church as the earliest Christian Church and cannot be regarded as the first Christians. There is, however, a movement both in the Roman Church and in protestant denominations (like the Anglicans) to move back towards the practices of the early church.


What is the oldest protestant denomination?

As Martin Luther began the Reformation by protesting against the Catholic Church, the church that was formed that took his name must, by definition, be the oldest protestant church. The Lutheran Church is now prevalent across the world, but especially in Germany and Scandinavia. Actually, the Moravians, or Unitas Fratum, predates Luther by 60 years and is considered the oldest protestant church.

What did the Catholic church do against Martin Luther?

A number of Papal Bulls were issued against him, and he was eventually excommunicated from the Catholic Church..Catholic AnswerThe Church did not attempt to do things "against Martin Luther", they attempted to save him. They attempted to reason with him, and bring him back to the Church. And they attempted to limit the damage he was doing to other people's eternal souls. The Church never gives up on anyone, unless, they, themselves, give up and refuse help. At that point, they excommunicated him, which is very serious as it limits his access to the sacraments, and God's grace, as long as he remains impenitent. from Wikipedia:Decet Romanum Pontificem (English: It Pleases the Roman Pontiff) (1521) is the papal bull excommunicating Martin Luther, bearing the title of the first three Latin words of the text.[1] It was issued on January 3, 1521, by Pope Leo X to effect the excommunication threatened in his earlier papal bull Exsurge Domine (1520) since Luther failed to recant.[2] Luther had burned his copy of Exsurge Domine on December 10, 1520, at the Elster Gate in Wittenberg, indicating his response to it.
