Roman Catholic AnswerNeither, they are a confused mess, some of them are very Catholic, witness # 76, "We say, on the contrary, that the papal pardons are not able to remove the least venial sins, so far as guilt is concerned." This is pure Catholic teaching - and always has been. And # 71, "He who speaks agains the truth of apostolic pardons, let him be anathema and accursed!" - one in which Martin Luther shortly afterward condemned himself.

But then, look at # 16, "Hell, purgatory, and heaven seem to differ as do despair, almost-despair, and the assuance of safety". This is just plain nonsense, as those in purgatory are saved, and know it, and heaven is much more than an "assurance of safety."

They are certainly not protestant, I don't think you could find a protestant on the planet, who would willing preach over half of them.
