supposedly the first protestants protested the decision of the 1529 Diet of speyer to reverse course and enforce 1521 Edict of Worms. This edict farbade lutheran teachings within the holy empire.

the protest
protestants
the protestants were the people who did not believe in the ways of the church. their name comes from the word "protest" as that is what they did. in the 15th century, Europe split into 2 groups, catholics and protestants.
Protestants are called protestants because they PROTESTED against the catholic church because Henry viii was catholic but he wanted a divorce but the catholics would not let him, so he started his own church( church of England) and they were called the protestants, also you can not be protestant and catholic.
Protestants didn't "arrive", Catholic and Protestants are both Christians, Protestant is a religion started by Martin Luther(not King just Martin Luther) who was originally a catholic but thought the Catholic ways were un-godly and not of the Bible so he started Protestant which mean Protest because they Protested against the Pope, the religion spread in mainly the north of Europe and also part of France.
It was a very bad thing to happen as the protestants and the catholics started to fight, and the catholics in Derry went to 1 side of the River Foyle and the protestants went to the other
No. Only Catholics celebrate patronage of saints. Protestants oppose the "laws" of Catholicism, hence the word "protest" to describe their break from the Holy Empire during the reign of King Henry VIII.

Protestants by definition protest some Catholic teachings. The various branches of Protestantism broke away from the Catholic Church in the 1500s. Eastern Orthodox churches broke away earlier after disagreements over doctrine, so could also be said to "protest" some Catholic teachings, although Orthodox and Catholic churches are often said to be "in communion" with each other, which cannot be said of Catholic and Protestant Churches.
The Roman Catholics and the Reformers (Protestants). Reformers is the preferred title because it emphasized that their agenda was positive, to restore the church to Biblical practices, not merely a negative protest, but Protestants is the common term.
why do you think the British took such tough measures to deal with the Hindu protest?
