Defending the right to protest against the orgies, opulence, and corruption of the whore mongering Borgiate papacy obviously.

Evangelicals are hardly in a state of protesting the institution.

Well as evidenced by Dangelia here, I used scripture to IMHO, completely shred the Orthodox Church's view on the Papacy and the Filioque, to the point where Dangelia was unable to respond and I later found him rocking in the corner, muttering something about a machete. :p

Any Denomination outside the Catholic or Orthodox Churches are technically Protestant. They owe their origins to the Protestant Reformation.

It's a matter of interpretation, really. I don't see the argument that because Christ says He sends the Spirit that the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son, and frankly I think it just creates the potential for heresy...

It's not a massive theological issue, but perhaps more problematic than its dogmatic implications is its unilateral insertion in to the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed by the West, without the approval of an ecumenical council. That's especially troubling to the Orthodox.

I don't wanna get deep in those arguments yet. Because, what's gonna happen is this. U give evidence, I give counter evidence. And we go on and on. Then we get tired. And that's the end (sometimes there's hard feelings).
