Protestantism
Protestantism
is a form of
Christian faith and practice
which originated with the
Protestant Reformation
, a movement against what its followers considered to be
errors
in the
Roman Catholic Church
. It is one of the three major divisions of
Christendom
, together with Roman Catholicism and
Eastern Orthodoxy
.
Anglicanism
is sometimes considered to be independent from Protestantism. The term derives from the
letter of protestation
from
Lutheran
princes
in 1529 against
an edict
condemning
the teachings of
Martin Luther
as
heretical
.
