Best Answer

Protestants are the branch of Christianity that broke away from Catholicism. Their name comes from the fact that they "protested" against the Catholic faith, first on the matter of divorce, but then on other matters as well. "Protestant" is thus a general term for any of a number of Christians who hold certain beliefs that are different from the Roman Catholic church. Among the largest Protestant denominations are Methodists, Baptists, Episcopalians (called Anglicans in England), Congregationalists, Unitarians, and Lutherans.
