| Protestant |
A Protestant is a type of Christian believer. Protestants do not belong to the Catholic Church, and they do not look on the Pope as their religious leader, as Catholics do. Protestants split from Catholics in the 16th century. Before that, these Christians were Catholics too. The religious belief of Protestants is somewhat different from that of Catholics and their religious service is simpler. Protestants often use the word "minister" or "pastor" to describe the person who leads their religious service on Sundays. Catholics always call this person their "priest." |
