PROTESTANTS ARE NO LONGER PROTESTANTS

When Martin Luther first raised his objections, they were meant to reform a church that, heaven knows, had so many defects He saw his church at that era as different from the Church of the Fathers, especially St. Augustine.  He wanted to bring the Church back to the primitive Tradition of the Fathers.  He wanted to purify the Church and restore it to its original virtues.  

Today, the Protestants are not working for the reform of the Church since they have left the Church and do not know the Church that Martin knew. . .the Catholic Church.  And they have thrown away Tradition, knowledge of which is the only way to restore the Church to its original beauty.  

While Martin Luther worked within the context of the Church and never planned to found a sect apart from the Church, today's Protestants are a group separate from the Church.  The Protestants are a different, separate sect, something Martin never envisioned at first.  A few of his followers though worked for the destruction of the Catholic Church.
